/**
 * An unordered hash-table based [Set] implementation.

 * and hashCode implementations. This means that the equals operation
 * must define a stable equivalence relation on the elements (reflexive,
 * symmetric, transitive, and consistent over time), and that the hashCode
 * must consistent with equality, so that the same for objects that are
 * considered equal.
 *
 * The set allows `null` as an element.
 *
 * Most simple operations on `HashSet` are done in (potentially amorteized)
 * constant time: [add], [contains], [remove], and [length], provided the hash
 * codes of objects are well distributed.

  /**
   * Create a hash set using the provided [equals] as equality.
   *
   * The provided [equals] must define a stable equivalence relation, and
   * [hashCode] must be consistent with [equals]. If the [equals] or [hashCode]
   * methods won't work on all objects, but only on some instances of E, the
   * [isValidKey] predicate can be used to restrict the keys that the functions
   * are applied to.
   * Any key for which [isValidKey] returns false is automatically assumed
   * to not be in the set when asking `contains`.
   *
   * If [equals] or [hashCode] are omitted, the set uses
   * the elements' intrinsic [Object.operator==] and [Object.hashCode].
   *
   * If you supply one of [equals] and [hashCode],
   * you should generally also to supply the other.
   *
   * If the supplied `equals` or `hashCode` functions won't work on all [E]
   * objects, and the map will be used in a setting where a non-`E` object
   * is passed to, e.g., `contains`, then the [isValidKey] function should
   * also be supplied.
   *
   * If [isValidKey] is omitted, it defaults to testing if the object is an
   * [E] instance. That means that:
   *
   *     new HashSet<int>(equals: (int e1, int e2) => (e1 - e2) % 5 == 0,
   *                      hashCode: (int e) => e % 5)
   *
   * does not need an `isValidKey` argument, because it defaults to only
   * accepting `int` values which are accepted by both `equals` and `hashCode`.
   *
   * If neither `equals`, `hashCode`, nor `isValidKey` is provided,
   * the default `isValidKey` instead accepts all values.
   * The default equality and hashcode operations are assumed to work on all
   * objects.
   *
   * Likewise, if `equals` is [identical], `hashCode` is [identityHashCode]
   * and `isValidKey` is omitted, the resulting set is identity based,
   * and the `isValidKey` defaults to accepting all keys.
   * Such a map can be created directly using [HashSet.identity].
