OK, that makes perfect sense to me now. There would be nothing gained by
creating a special type that would just alias apr_hash_t (which is what I did in
one of my earlier patches).

Thanks for helping get this into the code (both of you)! Hopefully, I can find
some time to start working on inherited properties, where this code change will
come in very handy.
