And of course a smart JIT compiler can even put the variable access lookup in an inline cache on the function so that in the future it's a direct type + key = offset calculation rather than a memory lookup and the hash_get call is avoided.

True. I was aiming for the simplest example that could pass as real general-case-ish assembly; there's plenty of room for improvement.
