- all ":function" are now "function:";
- "list" is now "list:";
- removed TYPE_INTEGER, TYPE_OTHER and TYPE_NIL;
- new type TYPE_ANY, it is essentially the TYPE_INTEGER, but if the value is 0 it will be treated as nil, you can use it to store any type(like TYPE_OTHER);
- removed "or" function, you can replicate it with bruter code;
- removed "#set" and "#rename";
- new function "#new", just like #set but it will always create a new hash, deleting the existing one before, keep that in mind;
- the internal function "hash_set" also does not re-set the hash anymore, it have the same behavior as "#new";
