For some things .. not necessarily this one .. DynArray
would be great .. but it creates a dependence on an
unstable third party LGPL'd library. I can neither
lift the relevant code (due to the licence),
nor lightly require my clients install that library
just to build my product. [I have seriously considered
requiring ExtLib]

BTW: I should explain the hashtables map
"arbitrary" subsets of the first n integers,
where n grows as time goes on 
(fresh variable' generator),
and there are a quite a few of these tables
built (its a compiler, there is a table for
every symbol representing its children).
