For the above reasons, and for the fact that I am more familiar with C, I
would prefer something in C.

After yet another netsearch, I think I may have found something that fits
the bill (why I didn't find it before, I don't know..grumble), although I
still don't get why something like this isn't standard.

It's called the Associative Array Library and is available at:

I'm currently experimenting with it, and if it looks good, I'll try to
package it up.
