elisp: Hash Table Type

 
 2.3.12 Hash Table Type
 ----------------------
 
 A hash table is a very fast kind of lookup table, somewhat like an alist
 in that it maps keys to corresponding values, but much faster.  The
 printed representation of a hash table specifies its properties and
 contents, like this:
 
      (make-hash-table)
           ⇒ #s(hash-table size 65 test eql rehash-size 1.5
                                   rehash-threshold 0.8 data ())
