17 There are three kinds of slots in the table:
18 
19 1. Unused.  me_key == me_value == NULL
20    Does not hold an active (key, value) pair now and never did.  Unused can
21    transition to Active upon key insertion.  This is the only case in which
22    me_key is NULL, and is each slot's initial state.
23 
24 2. Active.  me_key != NULL and me_key != dummy and me_value != NULL
25    Holds an active (key, value) pair.  Active can transition to Dummy upon
26    key deletion.  This is the only case in which me_value != NULL.
27 
28 3. Dummy.  me_key == dummy and me_value == NULL
29    Previously held an active (key, value) pair, but that was deleted and an
30    active pair has not yet overwritten the slot.  Dummy can transition to
31    Active upon key insertion.  Dummy slots cannot be made Unused again
32    (cannot have me_key set to NULL), else the probe sequence in case of
33    collision would have no way to know they were once active.
34 
35 Note: .popitem() abuses the me_hash field of an Unused or Dummy slot to
36 hold a search finger.  The me_hash field of Unused or Dummy slots has no
37 meaning otherwise.
