Agreed here. I think that the absence of any portable way to implement correct hash tables on inexact numbers is in fact a game-stopper. It is an indication that the standard is too flawed to release. A flaw or missing feature that someone can code around in a portable way is one thing; fundamentally lacking the primitives to code something is a more serious matter.
