I think removing it is the right thing.  Even with your patch it still
won't work because the default "table constructor" is a vector instead
of a hash table.

Regardless of whether it were new or old, I would much prefer to remove
this module than to document it properly, especially given the existence
of alternatives like srfi-69 and rnrs hash tables as you mention.

I will apply your patch (so that the compile warnings go away), add a
deprecation notice, and remove the module in master.

Andy
