Collision Handling

Each entry would have its own hash.

If two or more entries share the same hash, entries are compared by key and typename. This makes it possible to store multiple entries with the same key (but different type).

When using Set<T>, if there is already an existing entry with the same key and type, the passed value would be treated as a replacement of an existing entry (not a new one). This also applies to pointers.
