HopSlotMap removal

[JanEricNitschke]

Hi,

i was wondering why HopSlotMap is deprecated and to be removed. I am using it in the interpreter for my dynamically typed language and just ran benchmarks with normal SlotMap and DenseSlotMap and saw that both oerfirn wirse than HopSlotMap.

It's become quite a maintenance burden, and its existence places limitations on the normal SlotMap and DenseSlotMap I'd rather not have (namely that slot 0 must be left empty).

What kind of access patterns does your dynamically typed language do on a slot map, and what is 'performs worse' in numbers?
