Kinda my point. We already have all the hlist*() interface to deal
with such cases. Having something which is evidently the trivial
hlist hashtable and advertises as such in the interface can be
helpful. I think we need that more than we need anything fancy.
Heh, this is a debate about which one is less insignificant. I can
see your point. I'd really like to hear what others think on this.
Guys, do we want something which is evidently trivial hlist hashtable
which can use hlist_*() API directly or do we want something better
encapsulated?
Thanks.
