I want to modify the _current_ datum in Hashtable.iter, e.g., increment
a count. Is this code valid?
Hashtable.iter ht ~f:(fun ~key ~data ->
Hashtable.replace ht ~key ~data:(data+1))
(it appears to work, but I was told that "it is not guaranteed to work",
i.e., the documentation does not promise that).
If the above code is wrong, what is TRT?
in case you wondered why I think my code is reasonable:

Hash-table traversal
For hash table traversal operations, new elements may not be added
or deleted except that the element corresponding to the current hash key
may be changed or removed.
