Rationale for this change
Not only was the previous allocation strategy quite hard to follow, when interning sorted data it would end up comparing the value against at least
1/4
of the already interned values. This was sub-optimal.Taking a step back the original approach of leaving spaces was to mitigate the impact of unsorted data, as the design evolved
OrderPreservingInterner
now always sorts the dictionary prior to interning. This dramatically reduces the likelihood of out-of-order inserts, and consequently diminishes the value of this mitigation.A simpler, in-order allocation strategy is both faster and easier to understand
