    Harden Memoization code against broken data types · cbcea3b9
    David Rowley authored
    Bug #17512 highlighted that a suitably broken data type could cause the
    backend to crash if either the hash function or equality function were in
    someway non-deterministic based on their input values.  Such a data type
    could cause a crash of the backend due to some code which assumes that
    we'll always find a hash table entry corresponding to an item in the
    Memoize LRU list.
    
    Here we remove the assumption that we'll always find the entry
    corresponding to the given LRU list item and add run-time checks to verify
    we have found the given item in the cache.
    
    This is not a fix for bug #17512, but it will turn the crash reported by
    that bug report into an internal ERROR.
