Why should we force this constraint on the code that generates the
hash-tables. I think this is wrong. We just need a comment that
explains that we use h->count as a faster approximation of
HASH_TABLE_SIZE(h) (and BTW, the comment belongs next to the relevant
code which is not the `for` loop but the "if (h->count <= 5)" test) and
that we hence leave it to the bytecompiler to ensure that this
approximation is good enough.
