It is a great idea, but I'm not sure I would use it to implement table(). Allocating those strings will be costly. Don't we already have the 4-way int hash? Of course, my intuition might be completely off here.
It does use the 4-way int hash internally. as.character() is only used at the very-end to stick the names on the returned table object. H.

That will make things like table() work out-of-the-box on GenomicRanges objects. I'll add that. Thanks, H.

I find myself doing that a lot to make unique names or for output that goes to collaborators. I suppose we might want to tack on the strand if it isn't "*". I have some code for going the other direction too, if there is interest. Pete ____________________ Peter M.
