Description
In order to simplify usage of the Hashtable<T, F> class the code to perform rehashing of the SymbolTable and StringTable should be factored out to an intermediate class common to those two tables.
Also factor out HashtableEntry freelist allocation to allow implementors an easier route for providing their own memory management.
Comments
The correct subcomponent is probably runtime, since the change mostly affects SymbolTable and StringTable
