Comment(by andysem):

 2 Vicente: I'm not in position to give official response to your
 questions, but I suspect that the approach Anthony took could simplify
 solving problems with dynamically loadable/unloadable modules
 (nonetheless, the current branches/release version does not behave
 correctly with respect to this).

 For the record, my patch does suffer from this problem, too. However, I
 believe it is possible to provide both constant-time complexity and proper
 modules support. If not, well... I'd opt for performance. Perhaps, a
 library option should be provided to make everyone happy.
