Yeah.  It=E2=80=99s meant to be =E2=80=9Cgood enough=E2=80=9D to select a b=
ucket in a hash
table, nothing more.

Recursive traversal could quickly become terrible though, making macro
expansion even more expensive than it already is.

There=E2=80=99s also the caveat that due to this kind of use cases, =E2=80=
=98hash=E2=80=99 &
co. cannot be changed in a stable series because that=E2=80=99d indirectly =
be an
ABI break.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
