     14 *   Common definitions for UHashTable and UVector.
     15 *   UHashTok moved here from uhash.h and renamed UElement.
     16 *   This allows users of UVector to avoid the confusing #include of uhash.h.
     17 *   uhash.h aliases UElement to UHashTok,
     18 *   so that we need not change all of its code and its users.
