No, not what goes in the file, but what maptype to use. The "hash"
map type can not produce a fixed output for all possible inputs.

No not "using generic", rather using a table that returns a fixed output
regardless of the input. The list of supported tables is still in the
same place, and looking through it top to bottom will quickly expose
the right table type for the job.
