[racket] ordering for hash tables?

I think the current implementation might guarantee the same order for
the same hash table in a single run of racket, but you shouldn't reply
on even that and the current implementation does not make that
guarantee if you run the same program multiple times in racket. (And
the precise details of what the current implementation guarantees
depend on which kind of hash table you have and possibly the timing of
gc and other mysterious things.)
