Thank you very much, Peter, John, and now Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen.
(Peter submitted a fix last year, and Marc just  submitted a
version of hash-table-delete! modified as John requested.)  I have

I apologize for losing track of this pull request for so long.  I
normally track unfinished business like this, but somehow missed
this one.
