Re: Scheme style auto-resizing hashtable (fwd)

actually, hash->alist would give you a list of pairs.  These pairs would
be the same objects as the pairs in the hash table, so creating the list
wouldn't use up much memory at all.  It's also probably the fastest
approach (you'd only call hash->alist once: BANG! it's done.  whereas with
an iterator, you'd wind up calling it many times (bang!, bang!, bang!...).
