It would seem (to me) more friendly to apr_hash() users to make them
create their own structure to store the function pointer in, no? That
lets them abuse it of course but it keeps the usual
non-function-pointer code cleaner.
So what is such a platform? I'm curious.

but while everybody can pick up filtering in a couple of days, the use
of C++ in apache would scare off new contributors :)
