Module type S
= sig end

The output signature of the functors Ephemeron.K1.Make and Ephemeron.K2.Make . These hash tables are weak in the keys. If all the keys of a binding are alive the binding is kept, but if one of the keys of the binding is dead then the binding is removed.

Propose the same interface as usual hash table. However since the bindings are weak, even if mem h k is true, a subsequent find h k may raise Not_found because the garbage collector can run between the two.

same as Hashtbl.SeededS.stats but only count the alive bindings
