Note that you could be talking up to ~40k slots in each of two hash
tables, even if data for constructing them is ephemeral.  I think
that's the only reason people might not want it.

[I haven't checked how much of the space could reasonably be filled
from the Mule 5 charsets, but there's a lot of chinese-cns11643, for
instance.]
