Description
🐛 Bug Report / Feature
I suspect this may be generating errors during destruction, I want to implement a more resilient data structure for making the destruction algorithm thread safe and lock free. The best option is a COW array in my option, the alternatives are hard to implement. I tried to mix this with the new set_small ADT but it's better if we keep them separated.
