Jim,
You have some good thoughts here. Thank you for posting this.

You have probably seen my related proposal already, but just in case:

I think that for decent performance there got to be some shortcut for
the simple/typical cases like that. Maybe the shortcut should be right
in the input syntax, maybe it should be in having separate "formats" for
simple vs. complicated hash types, or maybe it should be in the code
(auto-detection of simple special cases with corresponding substitution
of function pointers, etc. to avoid further overhead).
