variables to iterate over hash table contents. This led to the
inability to nest hash table iterators. Fixed by defining a
wrapper structure that holds the actual hash table plus the size
and iterator indexes. Not only does this solve the nesting
problem, but it also avoids the need to pass the hash table size
on every call, and that reduces the number of ways a hash table
subroutine can go wrong (e.g., cannot access the table out of
bounds simply by passing a size that is larger than was used to
initialize the table).
