Goose has a built-in generic hash table called dictionary<K, V>, provided by its standard library.

You can store the strings separately and have the dictionary hold references to them.

Conceptually:

dictionary<i64, StringReference>

             |

             +----> "hello"

             +----> "a much longer string"

             +----> "x"
