The name "new" happens to be a C++ keyword, which was the my reason to rethink those names. The "xlat_table" is not only used to translate pointers for persisting scripts to shared memory, but is also used to annoate pointers (e.g. by the JIT to associate an op_array with its jit_extension). The names "old" and "new" aren't good for that; often, there's nothing "old" or "new" about them. It's actually a generic lookup table, and "old" shall be named "key" (which it is called internally already), and "new" is renamed to simply "value".
