Hello, 

I have a virtual table that implements query perceptual hashing data[1]. Now 
I'm thinking about converting the virtual table implementation in a collation 
on a normal sqlite3 table, but collation requieres that '=','<' and '>' be well 
defined by obeying the rules cited on create_collation() page[2]. Sometimes, 
rule 2 may not be true, but I always query for '=', never need sort query 
output and result is unique.
If I calculate the perceptual hash of an input, I want to get the closer 
(minimal distance) hash in the table calculating equal . Can I use a collation 
in this case?

[1] Perceptual Hashing: Hash function that similar input data has equal or 
similar hash. 
[2] http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/create_collation.html
    1.If A==B then B==A.
    2.If A==B and B==C then A==C.
    3.If A<B THEN B>A.
    4.If A<B and B<C then A<C.
