Sounds good!

Once you've ironed out the obvious bugs, make sure to also post it as a
patch to this mailing list. For the sake of the archives, and to make it
clear that you're submitting this for inclusion in PostgreSQL, under the
PostgreSQL license.

You can do: hash_get_num_entries(hashp) == 0

Better to use snprintf() instead. sprintf() is safe here, but many
static analysis tools will complain on any sight of plain sprintf(), so
better to just never use it.
