I assume that capacity and loadFactor will be checked when attempting to 
create the HashMap so I don't think we strictly need the additional checks.

As regards size > capacity, then won't that break things if the 
loadFactor is high? The size < 0 case seems to be harmless, we'll just 
end up with an empty Set.

You SVUID shouldn't be updated (the serial form hasn't changed).
