Does anyone know the status of this? 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). > > Some old mail suggests it was about resizing hash tables, which is in > the head now so unless it is or was more then perhaps this entry can > go now anyway. 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.
