I think you're creating a lot of additional complexity for yourself
here by creating a new ASetValue hash type with 3 fields.  Instead you
could add just an int32 type to the generator (far simpler to
implement) and write this call as:

"node_set_value", (RErr, [AHive; ANode "node";
       AString "key"; AInt32 "t"; AString "val"; AUnusedFlags]),

Note it needs to be explicitly an int32 type because in OCaml on 32
bit architectures ints are 31 bits wide.

Here, say:

  This call can be used to replace a single (key, value) pair
  stored in C<node>.  If the key does not already exist, then
  a new key is added.  Key matching is case insensitive.
