I would keep the distinct names.  The naming is in the code that uses the
htab and not in the htab code itself, which only cares about calling the
del callback function reagrdless of whether it is the standard one or a
custom one.  Since some source code files might have muyltiple htabs to deal
with and they may have their own del-needs, distinct names might even be
necessary in some cases.
