You can drop the parenthesis around the new max_shift check.

Also, I think the test should be expanded to check if there's
a grow_decision given and only in that case require max_shift
to be non-zero, otherwise we would require users who don't
want to expand their table to give a upper expansion limit.

This is a good point. I'll make this change.

max_shift restricts the # of buckets, but should there be an optional parameter, maxelems, to set a ceiling on the # of elements in a table also? If not, I believe users will be able to add an "unlimited" # of entries to the existing buckets, whether or not a grow_decision fn is defined.
