-  (* IDEA:
-   * - `create` takes an additional `v -> k` function which is used to
-   * generate the key (typically `HashTbl.hash` or `SomeModule.hash`)
-   * - `add` returns that key so that the caller can either
-   *     - keep it to gain some control over the lifetime of the table entry
-   *     - throw it away to let the GC do its thing
