# Module Ephemeron.GenHashTable

    module GenHashTable: sig .. end

Define a hash table on generic containers which have a notion of "death" and aliveness. If a binding is dead the hash table can automatically remove it.

    type equal =

`|` | `ETrue`
`|` | `EFalse`
`|` | `EDead` | `(*` | the container is dead | `*)`

    module MakeSeeded: functor (H : sig

    contains keys and the associated data

    equality predicate used to compare a key with the one in a
            container. Can return EDead if the keys in the container are
            dead

    check_key cont checks if all the keys contained in the data
            are alive
