Perhaps we should add a HashTable::create() helper that returns a PassOwnPtr?
We don't want to put these on the stack anywhere right?

You could make these "const OwnPtr<const HashTable>" to prevent changes post-construction.

I’d rather we add a makeOwned function template so you can do

arrayConstructorTable(makeOwned<HashTable>())

and have things just work. I want to do that after we’ve gotten rid of PassOwnPtr though.
