Comment (by nickm):

 bug4900_siphash in my public repository has an incomplete siphash-based
 implementation for initial poking-at.  Initially, it looks a little
 costly, but I didn't use a screamingly optimized implementation or
 anything.  It doesn't randomize its keys yet, so it's not ready for prime-
 time.

 Possibly, we should also consider crit-bit trees, though those have
 potential timing issues that we would need to consider hard.  And whatever
 else about them I forgot.  I wonder where I put my incomplete critbit-
 based HT_* replacement code, and whether it's worth finishing.
