Wouldn't the following be enough to get most of the benefits? * DECLARE/DEFINE * hash_head() * hash_for_each_head() * hash_add*() * hash_for_each_possible*() > I think that right now the only real trivial wrapper is hash_hashed(), and I > think it's a price worth paying to have a single hashtable API instead of > fragmenting it when more implementations come along. I'm not objecting strongly against full encapsulation but having this many thin wrappers makes me scratch my head.
