hash_table-buckets: alien:int

Number of buckets in the table. Automatically doubled if the table is filled over 2/3-th.

NOTE: The number of buckets is a power of 2. Hash-table literature claims prime numbers to provide a better distribution. Timing on the SUN-SPARC station suggests this does ot compensate for the difference between a division and a masking operation.
