I suspect you can't since Hash_Type is implementation-defined.
(Implying that you'd have to change, or at least check, the
implementation of everything involving Hash_Type.)

A quirky workaround might be to use two hash tables,
one for the upper quadword, and one for the lower.

But the standard containers aren't made for speed,
anyway; if that's the goal, I'd look elsewhere.
