// Define the default Hash and Eq functions for SwissTable containers.
//
// std::hash<T> and std::equal_to<T> are not appropriate hash and equal
// functions for SwissTable containers. There are two reasons for this.
//
// SwissTable containers are power of 2 sized containers:
//
// This means they use the lower bits of the hash value to find the slot for
// each entry. The typical hash function for integral types is the identity.
// This is a very weak hash function for SwissTable and any power of 2 sized
// hashtable implementation which will lead to excessive collisions. For
// SwissTable we use murmur3 style mixing to reduce collisions to a minimum.
//
// SwissTable containers support heterogeneous lookup:
//
// In order to make heterogeneous lookup work, hash and equal functions must be
// polymorphic. At the same time they have to satisfy the same requirements the
// C++ standard imposes on hash functions and equality operators. That is:
//
//   if hash_default_eq<T>(a, b) returns true for any a and b of type T, then
//   hash_default_hash<T>(a) must equal hash_default_hash<T>(b)
//
// For SwissTable containers this requirement is relaxed to allow a and b of
// any and possibly different types. Note that like the standard the hash and
// equal functions are still bound to T. This is important because some type U
// can be hashed by/tested for equality differently depending on T. A notable
// example is `const char*`. `const char*` is treated as a c-style string when
// the hash function is hash<std::string> but as a pointer when the hash
// function is hash<void*>.
