       automatically rounded up to the next power of two. It is also
       automatically limited from 4 to 4194304.

       The same options that the class' constructor takes; except that the size
       option is ignored. It is automatically calculated to be the same as the
       number of entries in the hash, rounded up to the nearest power of two
       with a maximum limit of 4194304.
