[M3devel] REFANY-keyed tables?

[JC Chu]

Refany.Hash() simply raises a Refany.Error, which is marked as fatal.  And the comment for it in Refany.i3 does state that it “causes a checked runtime error”.  (Same for Refany.Compare() (rather than Refany.Equal(), as I previously said).)

Sounds like some sort of build error.  What is the exception?
