No doubt.  Which is to be preferred:

#,(hash (re . 3) (im . 6))

or:

#hash((re . 4) (im . 4))

Not a huge difference, agreed.
I think it would be good to standardize *something*, preferably
something already in use.  Co-existing with quasi-quoatation
in some sane way would also be desirable: in a pinch alist->hash-table
could be used, but it is mildly verbose.
