There is absolutely 0 value in tackling that until someone can fix
hash's performance problems.  If there is no real-world scenario for
using it ... which there really isn't ... then adding WAL support
still leaves you with no real-world scenario for using it.

This is not to suggest that I wouldn't like to see all of that fixed;
I would.  But let's concentrate on the showstoppers first, rather than
expending effort that might ultimately be a waste.
