I can't imagine wanting to convert *every* hashtable in the system to simplehash; the added code bloat would be unreasonable. So yeah, I think we'll have two mechanisms indefinitely. That's not to say that we might not rewrite hsearch. But simplehash was never meant to be a universal solution. regards, tom lane
