Dump Hashtbl.t to list or assoc list

Is there no easy or built-in way to dump all keys and/or values of a hash table to a list or assoc list? Lists are easier to use when asserting equality in tests, like test_eq.

I find iter, but no map, which is weird, or?

Alternatively, dump Hashtbl.t to Seq.t and then to assoc list.
