jzebedeeon Robin Hood Hashing should be the default hash table implementation (2013)

I was comparing hash performance for a hobby project when I first discovered Robin Hood hashing. I ended up making a demo implementation of the backwards-shifting variant in C# [1] and found that it wasn't the best performer for the load case I needed. I still think it's an incredibly clever algorithm and I would love to find a project where I could use it again.
