I am not sure I find this way "better". Sure, it does avoid a slight
allocation out of a pool. OTOH, when one reads this cod,e one has to
think "hey, where does this hash table come from, is it considered
read-only, and am I sure no caller up the call chain doesn't pass it
to multiple threads at a time?" Is this microoptimization really worth
the readability hassle? I think we use an explicit pool almost everywhere we
iterate over a hash table.

Thanks,
//Peter
