+// 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<string> but as a pointer when the hash function is
+// hash<void*>.
