The advantage on extending MAKE-HASH-TABLE is that I can use

  (make-hash-table ...
                   #+sbcl :key-type   #+sbcl 'foo 
                   #+sbcl :value-type #+sbcl 'quux)

in portable Common Lisp code, and benefit from the type checking in my
implementation of choice, and also enhance clarity for readers of the
code on what types are involved.
