I added some words to the todo file instead.  The functions taken by
hashx_remove seem sub-optimal.


  - hashx-remove!, corresponding to other hash*-remove! functions.

    scm_hashx_remove_x exists, but has never been documented, and
    might be non-functional (looks like it's missing "&closure" in the
    scm_hash_fn_remove_x call).

    Might want to think about the procedures taken.  Separate assoc
    and delete! suit existing such functions, but it's wasteful to
    traverse a bucket list once to see if an element exists, then
    again to delete it.  Think about maybe a function returning both a
    modified list and a flag indicating whether a delete was done.  Or
    maybe just returning the list tail of the target element.

  - mapping.scm hash-table-mapping-hooks uses hashx-create-handle,
    which doesn't exist.  Probably a typo for hashx-create-handle!,
    just wants to get a little test program to exercise it.
  - mapping.scm hash-table-mapping-hooks uses hashx-get-handle in its
    constructed delete-proc, which is probably meant to be
    hashx-remove!, if/when such a function exists.
