+ *  that maps keys of type <code>A</code> to values of the fully abstract
+ *  member type <code>Entry</code>. Classes that make use of <code>HashTable</code>
+ *  have to provide an implementation for <code>Entry</code>
+ *
+ *  There are mainly two parameters that affect the performance of a hashtable:
+ *  the <i>initial size</i> and the <i>load factor</i>. The <i>size</i>
+ *  refers to the number of <i>buckets</i> in the hashtable, and the <i>load
+ *  factor</i> is a measure of how full the hashtable is allowed to get before
+ *  its size is automatically doubled. Both parameters may be changed by
+ *  overriding the corresponding values in class <code>HashTable</code>.
