I still don't understand why you think it's suitable. If I want to lookup a constant FOO_Bar. How would you know if the hash function you want to use is case-sensitive or not? In any case, you used to be able to specify a different hash function in hash_init() but it was never used and for performance reasons we inline'd the hash function.
