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

 * 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.
