Associated function new is not defined for any hasher on HashMap

[Alphare]

HashMap with a custom hasher does not implement new(). Example, with the following type alias:

type FastHashMap<K, V> = HashMap<K, V, MyFastHasher>;

let h = HashMap::new();  // Works
let f = FastHashMap::new();  // No associated function, etc.

Is there a good reason why that should happen? I've resorted to using default() since it does the same thing AFAIK, but this seems like an unnecessary restriction.

This is intentional, because associated type defaults don't factor into type inference: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=94783a2a4108c8f70df5fc047bba2edf
