1. doesn't even try to use the hmap or hgrep you defended so long

    I made no attempt to "defend". There is nothing to "defend".

    I offered an alternative, With reasoning. (I'm not forcing anyone to agree; nor use my ideas.)

  2. you needed to introduce completely new hpairs

    I use (or construct) the right tool for the job.

  3. still needs a unhpairs to flatten LoA before assigning to a new hash after chain

    Nothing new required, map serves the purpose perfectly.

  4. I could already use my hmap in your solution, so no need to create hpairs

    Look as hard as I might; I can't find your definition of hmap?

  5. you really hate symmetry, don't you?

    Nope! I "hate" very little. (And is that less "personal" that my recognising your ability?)

    But I do not seek to artificially impose symmetry where it does not naturally belong.
