+// This library provides APIs to debug the probing behavior of hash tables.
+//
+// In general, the probing behavior is a black box for users and only the
+// side effects can be measured in the form of performance differences.
+// These APIs give a glimpse on the actual behavior of the probing algorithms in
+// these hashtables given a specified hash function and a set of elements.
+//
+// The probe count distribution can be used to assess the quality of the hash
+// function for that particular hash table. Note that a hash function that
+// performs well in one hash table implementation does not necessarily performs
+// well in a different one.
+//
+// This library supports std::unordered_{set,map}, dense_hash_{set,map} and
+// absl::{flat,node,string}_hash_{set,map}.
