/**
 * # CategoryHashTable
 *
 * SDL offers a hash table implementation, as a convenience for C code that
 * needs efficient organization and access of arbitrary data.
 *
 * Hash tables are a popular data structure, designed to make it quick to
 * store and look up arbitrary data. Data is stored with an associated "key."
 * While one would look up an element of an array with an index, a hash table
 * uses a unique key to find an element later.
 *
 * A key can be anything, as long as its unique and in a format that the table
 * understands. For example, it's popular to use strings as keys: the key
 * might be a username, and it is used to lookup account information for that
 * user, etc.
 *
 * Hash tables are named because they "hash" their keys down into simple
 * integers that can be used to efficiently organize and access the associated
 * data.
 *
 * As this is a C API, there is one generic interface that is intended to work
 * with different data types. This can be a little awkward to set up, but is
 * easy to use after that.
 *
 * Hashtables are generated by a call to SDL_CreateHashTable(). This function
 * requires several callbacks to be provided (for hashing keys, comparing
 * entries, and cleaning up entries when removed). These are necessary to
 * allow the hash to manage any arbitrary data type.
 *
 * Once a hash table is created, the common tasks are inserting data into the
 * table, (SDL_InsertIntoHashTable), looking up previously inserted data
 * (SDL_FindInHashTable), and removing data (SDL_RemoveFromHashTable and
 * SDL_ClearHashTable). Less common but still useful is the ability to
 * iterate through all the items in the table (SDL_IterateHashTable).
 *
 * The underlying hash table implementation is always subject to change, but
 * at the time of writing, it uses open addressing and Robin Hood hashing.
 * The technical details are explained [here](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/10897).
 *
 * Hashtables keep an SDL_RWLock internally, so multiple threads can perform
 * hash lookups in parallel, while changes to the table will safely serialize
 * access between threads.
 *
 * SDL provides a layer on top of this hash table implementation that might be
 * more pleasant to use. SDL_PropertiesID maps a string to arbitrary data of
 * various types in the same table, which could be both easier to use and more
 * flexible. Refer to [CategoryProperties](CategoryProperties) for details.

/**
 * Create a new hash table.
 *
 * To deal with different datatypes and needs of the caller, hash tables
 * require several callbacks that deal with some specifics: how to hash a key,
 * how to compare a key for equality, and how to clean up keys and values.
 * SDL provides a few generic functions that can be used for these callbacks:
 *
 * - SDL_HashString and SDL_KeyMatchString for C strings.
 * - SDL_HashPointer and SDL_KeyMatchPointer for generic pointers.
 * - SDL_HashID and SDL_KeyMatchID for generic (possibly small) integers.
 *
 * Oftentimes, these are all you need for any hash table, but depending on
 * your dataset, custom implementations might make more sense.
 *
 * You can specify an estimate of the number of items expected to be stored
 * in the table, which can help make the table run more efficiently. The table
 * will preallocate resources to accomodate this number of items, which is
 * most useful if you intend to fill the table with a lot of data right after
 * creating it. Otherwise, it might make more sense to specify the _minimum_
 * you expect the table to hold and let it grow as necessary from there. This
 * number is only a hint, and the table will be able to handle any amount of
 * data--as long as the system doesn't run out of resources--so a perfect
 * answer is not required. A value of 0 signifies no guess at all, and the
 * table will start small and reallocate as necessary; often this is the
 * correct thing to do.
 *
 * !!! FIXME: add note about `threadsafe` here. And update `threadsafety` tags.
 * !!! FIXME: note that `threadsafe` tables can't be recursively locked, so
 * !!! FIXME:  you can't use `destroy` callbacks that might end up relocking.
 *
 * Note that SDL provides a higher-level option built on its hash tables:
 * SDL_PropertiesID lets you map strings to various datatypes, and this
 * might be easier to use. It only allows strings for keys, however. Those are
 * created with SDL_CreateProperties().
