+ * This is a patched version of the Murmur2 hashing function to use
+ * a proper pre-mix and post-mix setup. Infact this is Murmur3 for
+ * the most part just reinvented.
+ * 
+ * Murmur 2 contains an inner loop such as:
+ * while (l >= 4) {
+ *      u32 k = *(u32*)d;
+ *      k *= m;
+ *      k ^= k >> r;
+ *      k *= m;
+ * 
+ *      h *= m;
+ *      h ^= k;
+ *      d += 4;
+ *      l -= 4;
+ * }
+ * 
+ * The two u32s that form the key are the same value x (pulled from data)
+ * this premix stage will be perform the same results for both. Unrolled
+ * this produces just:
+ *  x *= m;
+ *  x ^= x >> r;
+ *  x *= m;
+ *
+ *  h *= m;
+ *  h ^= x;
+ *  h *= m;
+ *  h ^= x;
+ * 
+ * This appears to be fine, except what happens when m == 1, well x
+ * cancels out entierly, leaving just:
+ *  x ^= x >> r;
+ *  h ^= x;
+ *  h ^= x;
+ * 
+ * So all keys hash to the same value, but how often does m == 1?
+ * well, it turns out testing x for all possible values yeilds only
+ * 172,013,942 unique results instead of 2^32. So nearly ~4.6 bits
+ * are cancelled out on average!
+ * 
+ * This means we have a 14.5% (rounded) chance of colliding more, which
+ * results in another bucket/chain for the hashtable.
+ *
+ * We fix it buy upgrading the pre and post mix ssystems to align with murmur
+ * hash 3.
