I've attached a patch series that includes switching to simplehash.
Obviously we'd really just collapse all of these patches, but it's
perhaps interesting to see the changes required to use each style
(binary search, dynahash, simplehash).
As before, there are clearly comments and naming things to be
addressed, but the implementation should be reasonably clean.
