OK, assuming 'yes, we need a new API', here's a patch for a new API.
I would also like to suggest that all references to struct refcounted_he
be removed from the public API and the public sections of the headers.
(This would include removing B::RHE entirely.) AFAICS it should be
treated as an internal implementation matter, and any APIs dealing with
the runtime hinthash should pass in COPs instead.
