gencfn-macros.c:#include "hash-table.h"
genmatch.c:#include "hash-table.h"
gentarget-def.c:#include "hash-table.h"

So there's precedent.  The other solution would be to ignore genhooks.c 
(i.e. let it continue using the non-typesafe variant), I'm not very 
worried about wrong uses creeping in there.  It had like one material 
change in the last seven years.

I think I prefer the latter (ignoring the problem).

Jumping through hoops for generator files seems useless.  But the general 
idea for your type-checking hashers for the compiler proper does seem 
useful.


Ciao,
Michael.
