OK, thanks for guidance, I'll stay away from it.
I've been doing some preparatory work on this todo item:

I've renamed the type from "hashset" to "int4hashset",
and the SQL-functions are now prefixed with "int4"
when necessary. The overloaded functions with
int4hashset as input parameters don't need to be prefixed,
e.g. hashset_add(int4hashset, int).
Other changes since last update (4e60615):
* Support creation of empty hashset using '{}'::hashset
* Introduced a new function hashset_capacity() to return the current capacity
of a hashset.
* Refactored hashset initialization:
- Replaced hashset_init(int) with int4hashset() to initialize an empty hashset
with zero capacity.
- Added int4hashset_with_capacity(int) to initialize a hashset with
a specified capacity.
* Improved README.md and testing
As a next step, I'm planning on adding int8 support.
Looks and sounds good?
