This is as designed, because the Er

I found these implementations of hash set (origial is from Java, as
search shows):

- hashset (unit lgHashSet)
- fine-grained concurrent hashset (unit lgHashS

I was curious, is there any practical limit on the size of a set (32 bits
and 256 values) and why they couldn’t be 64 bit or any other arbitrary
size? The floor seems to be 4 bytes too but why not allow smaller sizes to
save memory? Perhaps just a historical artifact but I was curious.

I always use the one from generics.collections
