            - [2002] Maged Michael "High performance dynamic lock-free hash tables and list-based sets"

        Michael's hash table algorithm is based on lock-free ordered list and it is very simple.
        The main structure is an array \p T of size \p M. Each element in \p T is basically a pointer
        to a hash bucket, implemented as a singly linked list. The array of buckets cannot be dynamically expanded.
        However, each bucket may contain unbounded number of items.

        Template parameters are:
        - \p GC - Garbage collector used. You may use any \ref cds_garbage_collector "Garbage collector"
            from the \p libcds library.
            Note the \p GC must be the same as the \p GC used for \p OrderedList
        - \p OrderedList - ordered list implementation used as bucket for hash set, for example, \p MichaelList.
            The ordered list implementation specifies the type \p T to be stored in the hash-set,
            the comparing functor for the type \p T and other features specific for the ordered list.
        - \p Traits - set traits, default is \p michael_set::traits.
            Instead of defining \p Traits struct you may use option-based syntax with \p michael_set::make_traits metafunction.

        There are the specializations:
        - for \ref cds_urcu_desc "RCU" - declared in <tt>cd/container/michael_set_rcu.h</tt>,
            see \ref cds_nonintrusive_MichaelHashSet_rcu "MichaelHashSet<RCU>".
        - for \ref cds::gc::nogc declared in <tt>cds/container/michael_set_nogc.h</tt>,
            see \ref cds_nonintrusive_MichaelHashSet_nogc "MichaelHashSet<gc::nogc>".

        \anchor cds_nonintrusive_MichaelHashSet_hash_functor
        <b>Hash functor</b>

        Some member functions of Michael's hash set accept the key parameter of type \p Q which differs from node type \p value_type.
        It is expected that type \p Q contains full key of node type \p value_type, and if keys of type \p Q and \p value_type
        are equal the hash values of these keys must be equal too.

        The hash functor \p Traits::hash should accept parameters of both type:
        \code
        // Our node type
        struct Foo {
            std::string     key_    ;   // key field
            // ... other fields
        };

        // Hash functor
        struct fooHash {
            size_t operator()( const std::string& s ) const
            {
                return std::hash( s );
            }

            size_t operator()( const Foo& f ) const
            {
                return (*this)( f.key_ );
            }
        };
        \endcode

        <b>Iterators</b>

        The class supports a forward iterator (\ref iterator and \ref const_iterator).
        The iteration is unordered.
        The iterator object is thread-safe: the element pointed by the iterator object is guarded,
        so, the element cannot be reclaimed while the iterator object is alive.
        However, passing an iterator object between threads is dangerous.

        @warning Due to concurrent nature of Michael's set it is not guarantee that you can iterate
        all elements in the set: any concurrent deletion can exclude the element
        pointed by the iterator from the set, and your iteration can be terminated
        before end of the set. Therefore, such iteration is more suitable for debugging purpose only

        Remember, each iterator object requires an additional hazard pointer, that may be
        a limited resource for \p GC like \p gc::HP (for \p gc::DHP the total count of
        guards is unlimited).

        The iterator class supports the following minimalistic interface:
        \code
        struct iterator {
        // Default ctor
        iterator();

        // Copy ctor
        iterator( iterator const& s);

        value_type * operator ->() const;
        value_type& operator *() const;

        // Pre-increment
        iterator& operator ++();

        // Copy assignment
        iterator& operator = (const iterator& src);

        bool operator ==(iterator const& i ) const;
        bool operator !=(iterator const& i ) const;
        };
        \endcode
        Note, the iterator object returned by \ref end, \p cend member functions points to \p nullptr and should not be dereferenced.

        <b>How to use</b>

        Suppose, we have the following type \p Foo that we want to store in our \p %MichaelHashSet:
        \code
        struct Foo {
            int     nKey    ;   // key field
            int     nVal    ;   // value field
        };
        \endcode

        To use \p %MichaelHashSet for \p Foo values, you should first choose suitable ordered list class
        that will be used as a bucket for the set. We will use \p gc::DHP reclamation schema and
        \p MichaelList as a bucket type. Also, for ordered list we should develop a comparator for our \p Foo
        struct.
        \code
        #include <cds/container/michael_list_dhp.h>
        #include <cds/container/michael_set.h>

        namespace cc = cds::container;

        // Foo comparator
        struct Foo_cmp {
            int operator ()(Foo const& v1, Foo const& v2 ) const
            {
                if ( std::less( v1.nKey, v2.nKey ))
                    return -1;
                return std::less(v2.nKey, v1.nKey) ? 1 : 0;
            }
        };

        // Our ordered list
        typedef cc::MichaelList< cds::gc::DHP, Foo,
            typename cc::michael_list::make_traits<
                cc::opt::compare< Foo_cmp >     // item comparator option
            >::type
        > bucket_list;

        // Hash functor for Foo
        struct foo_hash {
            size_t operator ()( int i ) const
            {
                return std::hash( i );
            }
            size_t operator()( Foo const& i ) const
            {
                return std::hash( i.nKey );
            }
        };

            The functor may change non-key fields of \p item. Note that the functor is only guarantee

            The functor does not serialize simultaneous access to the set's \p item. If such access is
            possible you must provide your own synchronization schema on item level to exclude unsafe item modifications.
