No, it is not better than a horse. The horse is more reliable and on

Oh, and my directory structure is ...

A hash value is simply a probabilistic mechanism to quickly determine if
two objects must be different, or to select a bin in a hash table.
Two different objects are allowed to have the same hash value, but two
objects that are the same must have the same
024 items, so to
accommodate users who don't want to peel off and hold in memory 1024
iteration.next()'s, you can set an optional parameter to a smaller
value.
I'm not sure where to take this as a "next step." It seems too small a
