Does swissmap suffer from the same key-deletion issue as golang map? Namely memory is not freed upon deleting of keys?

See golang/go#20135

swiss.Map has similar delete behavior to Go's builtin map. The Map grows during insertion, but does not shrink during deletion. However, deleted pointer values can be Gc'd. So can the memory associated with string keys.
