re: (if (numberp x) (sxhash x) (%unique-no x))
the NUMBERP test really should be (OR (NUMBERP X) (CHARACTERP X)), ...
Ooops, right. Thanks for noticing it.
I've also noticed a bit of inconsistency in the use of the term
"key transformation". The "terminology" section mentions two
variant meanings for the term, but I'd prefer now to see it made
more rigorous; perhaps "hash function" could be used for the
variant which is typically dependent on the table size.
