You have to be careful.  If we make hash table randomization mandatory,
the Frama-C people will hate us, as will all the people who want
reproducible results from their programs (for purposes of testing and
benchmarking, for example).

So, even if randomized is the default, there must be a way to get a
plain hash table that does the same thing every time.
