Well, the first set of patches have been committed. The following things
still need to be done:
1) Move key.c's bucket functions to perlhash.pmc.
2) Rewrite perlhash.pmc class functions to use the proper hashing
functions.
3) Rewrite global_setup.c to use PerlHash members
4) Rewrite core.ops to use the new get_{type}_keyed
5) Lots of testing.
I can at least do #1 tonight, and maybe #2 over the weekend. I'll be
available for about another week or so, then I'll be in the throes of
changing jobs.
