Can't find my last whinge on this one - it seems to
have vanished (do I hear you all saying "just as well"?).

Please could the general description of these 2 classes
be improved. In particular:

1) Why does HashC exist at all as a
non-reference-counted object? - it seems to be contrary
to RAVL tradition. When would I want to use a
non-reference-counted hash table?

2) Maybe the documentation of the 2 classes could be
made more similar (except of course where the classes
themselves differ)

3) Make it clear that the extra functions needed refer
to the key, not the hash table

4) Tidy up comments beginning with "!!!!": it is not
clear whether something is missing from HashC, or
wheter this is yet another thing required of the key.

Hope this doesn't all disappear down the plughole this
time.

Cheers,
Bill.
