A Map or Set header held six adapter pointers, the union key table and
size_t counts: 168 bytes, 176 in its size class. The adapters and union
key kinds now live in an immutable per-type ScrMapOps descriptor that the
compiler emits once per collection type, a traced byte replaces the two
trace-pointer tests, and the counts and capacities are 32-bit. The header
is 88 bytes.
The entries array starts with one slot and grows to four, then doubles,
and maps of up to 8 entries scan their cached hashes instead of keeping a
bucket table. Number-key maps still move to the direct index from four
entries.
One million maps held at once (RSS per map): empty 188 -> 100 bytes,
1 entry 286 -> 125, 4 entries 286 -> 198, 8 entries 450 -> 295.
