Subject: c extension: symbols

Hi,

in pure ruby, I sometimes access hashes with symbols as keys:

{ :foo => "this", :bar => "other" }


Q: How would I create this kind of hash on the c part? 

OK, the hash is easy (rb_hash_new()). But how do I specify the key?
When I use rb_intern("foo"), I get a hash like:

{ 1234 => "this", 2345 => "other" }
