While it would be nice to have the table dynamically resize itself at 
runtime, it is not necessary.  All I was suggesting was a wrapper around 
the process of iterating through a serialised data structure and 
re-hashing the keys=>values.  The table can still be fixed-size.  It's 
really just serialisation/deserialisation that is the essence of the 
request.

Setting the size on the deserialising end in a way appropriate to the 
required performance characteristics can still be up to the user.

Will do.  Is the htable code fairly simple?  I might contribute.
