/**
 * A class which implements a hashtable data structure.
 * <p>
 *
 * This implementation of Hashtable uses a hash-bucket approach. That is:
 * linear probing and rehashing is avoided; instead, each hashed value maps
 * to a simple linked-list which, in the best case, only has one node.
 * Assuming a large enough table, low enough load factor, and / or well
 * implemented hashCode() methods, Hashtable should provide O(1)
 * insertion, deletion, and searching of keys.  Hashtable is O(n) in
 * the worst case for all of these (if all keys hash to the same bucket).
 * <p>
 *
 * This is a JDK-1.2 compliant implementation of Hashtable.  As such, it
 * belongs, partially, to the Collections framework (in that it implements
 * Map).  For backwards compatibility, it inherits from the obsolete and
 * utterly useless Dictionary class.
 * <p>
 *
 * Being a hybrid of old and new, Hashtable has methods which provide redundant
 * capability, but with subtle and even crucial differences.
 * For example, one can iterate over various aspects of a Hashtable with
 * either an Iterator (which is the JDK-1.2 way of doing things) or with an
 * Enumeration.  The latter can end up in an undefined state if the Hashtable
 * changes while the Enumeration is open.
 * <p>
 *
 * Unlike HashMap, Hashtable does not accept `null' as a key value. Also,
 * all accesses are synchronized: in a single thread environment, this is
 * expensive, but in a multi-thread environment, this saves you the effort
 * of extra synchronization. However, the old-style enumerators are not
 * synchronized, because they can lead to unspecified behavior even if
 * they were synchronized. You have been warned.
 * <p>
 *
 * The iterators are <i>fail-fast</i>, meaning that any structural
 * modification, except for <code>remove()</code> called on the iterator
 * itself, cause the iterator to throw a
 * <code>ConcurrentModificationException</code> rather than exhibit
 * non-deterministic behavior.
