MzScheme contains the following caveat on mutating keys:

   If a key into an equal?-based hash table is mutated (e.g., a key string is
   modified with string-set!), then the hash table's behavior for put and get
   operations becomes unpredictable.

What is the behavior of this SRFI in such a case?

David
