## Implementation Summary

* Change entry list from segmented list to flat array.
* Change value of hash bucket from pointer to entry to index of entry list,
  and represent it by variable length bits according to capacity of hash
  buckets.
* Store management information about entry list and hash table to `struct
  RHash` as much as possible.

## Benchmark Summary

Only the results of typical situations on 64-bit Word-boxing are present
here. For more detailed information, including consideration, see below
(although most of the body is written in Japanese).
