The reference implementation contains these functions:
(define (make-hash-table-maker comp hash)
(lambda args (apply make-hash-table (cons comp (cons hash args)))))
(define make-symbol-hash-table
(make-hash-table-maker eq? symbol-hash))
(define make-string-hash-table
(make-hash-table-maker string=? string-hash))
(define make-string-ci-hash-table
(make-hash-table-maker string-ci=? string-ci-hash))
(define make-integer-hash-table
(make-hash-table-maker = modulo))
They're not mentioned in the specification. Is this a bug in the
specification or the implementation (i.e. they shouldn't be there)?
I also assume that the hashing function implementations are not
normative. Specifially, in a Java environment it makes sense to
use the standard hashCode methods.
