Another blocking operation is _rehashing_, which happens explicitly via `rehash`/`reserve`
or during insertion when the table's load hits `max_load()`. As with non-concurrent containers,
reserving space in advance of bulk insertions will generally speed up the process.
== Interoperability with non-concurrent containers
As their internal data structure is basically the same, `boost::unordered_flat_map` can
be efficiently move-constructed from `boost::concurrent_flat_map` and vice versa.
This interoperability comes handy in multistage scenarios where parts of the data processing happen
in parallel whereas other steps are non-concurrent (or non-modifying). In the following example,
we want to construct a histogram from a huge input vector of words:
the population phase can be done in parallel with `boost::concurrent_flat_map` and results
then transferred to the final container.

std::vector<std::string> words = ...;
// Insert words in parallel
boost::concurrent_flat_map<std::string_view, std::size_t> m0;
std::for_each(
std::execution::par, words.begin(), words.end(),
[&](const auto& word) {
m0.try_emplace_or_visit(word, 1, [](auto& x) { ++x.second; });
});
// Transfer to a regular unordered_flat_map
boost::unordered_flat_map m=std::move(m0);
