[Haskell-cafe] FiniteMap-like module for unordered keys?

Is there a module that provides functionality similar to that of 
Data.FiniteMap for keys that do not have a defined ordering relation?

(I looked at Data.HashTable, but I couldn't figure why it needs to be 
implemented in the IO monad, except to optimize the internal 
implementation.  Also, it's not clear to me how it behaves when a key is 
inserted that already exists.)
