Since this topic has came up, may I dare to add some other comments?
- it would be great if fast hash computation would be exposed at the R level
(existing implementations such as rlang and digest rely on serialisation which
adds unnessesry overhead), that would be very useful for many applications.
- It might be useful if hash tables supported `==` operator for equality as
well. This would mean making the hash function generic.
Best,
Taras
