why completing-read (and try-completion, all-completions &c) accept

Nobody has updated it since hash tables were added to Emacs.
Do you want to implement allowing a hash table?

I prefer writing lisp, and this will have to be done in C.
I would rather see this done by someone who knows the Emacs
implementation of hash tables better.
