/** Limited-scope, fast implementation of a bi-directional hash table.
 *
 * This data structure holds an array of key-value pairs. It is append-only.
 *
 * A key is the result of a hash function applied to the value, and keys are
 * unique within an index. Hence, both keys and values are uniqure and lookups
 * can be done both ways.
 *
 * A value is a pointer to a `LSUP_SerTerm` structure. Comparison for
 * uniqueness is done by comparing the hashes/keys.
 *
 * To find a key by its value, it is sufficient to apply the hash function to
 * the value without having to look up the table.
