I'd be especially concerned about how the "smap_" functions assume data will always be strings, but a careless user could easily introduce non-string data through the "shash_" functions.
Yeah, I tend to agree, in general. I've been thinking along this direction for
a year or more. At some point I think I'll get around to fully separating the
two data structures, but I hope that this is OK for temporary use.
