type of issue: Enhancement
priority: Minor
R6RS component: Hash Tables
version of the report: 5.92
SUMMARY
The callback functions passed to make-hash-table should not mutate the hash
table they're invoked on.
DESCRIPTION
I think this is evident, though it is not clearly stated in
the spec (p. 51, Constructors).
PROPOSAL
Add "The <hash-function> and <equiv> procedures must not mutate the
hash-table they are invoked on.", similar to the spec of map.
