I believe the work was never incorporated. I recall a thread between
Jay and (mainly) Maciej Stachowiak which went on for ever (but not what
the points of disagreement (if any) were).

I think the point of Jay's implementation was _automatic_ resizing. In
other words, it removed both the need to specify a size when creating a
hash table, and the need for any explicit resizing calls (given an
implementation which supported resizing at all) as entries were added to
or removed from the table.
