  * dict.c hash tables are always power of two in size, and they

+ * by computing the bitwise AND between Hash(key) and SIZE-1
  * (where SIZE-1 is always the mask that is equivalent to taking the rest

- * (in binary) 1111. The position of a key in the hash table will be always
+ * (in binary) 1111. The position of a key in the hash table will always be
  * the last four bits of the hash output, and so forth.
  *
  * WHAT HAPPENS IF THE TABLE CHANGES IN SIZE?
  *
- * If the hash table grows, elements can go anyway in one multiple of
- * the old bucket: for example let's say that we already iterated with
- * a 4 bit cursor 1100, since the mask is 1111 (hash table size = 16).

+ * a 4 bit cursor 1100 (the mask is 1111 because hash table size = 16).
  *
- * If the hash table will be resized to 64 elements, and the new mask will
- * be 111111, the new buckets that you obtain substituting in ??1100
- * either 0 or 1, can be targeted only by keys that we already visited

+ * with either 0 or 1 can be targeted only by keys we already visited
  * when scanning the bucket 1100 in the smaller hash table.
  *
  * By iterating the higher bits first, because of the inverted counter, the
- * cursor does not need to restart if the table size gets bigger, and will
- * just continue iterating with cursors that don't have '1100' at the end,
- * nor any other combination of final 4 bits already explored.

- * 16 to 8, If a combination of the lower three bits (the mask for size 8
