i'm not opposed to this, but if this is the case it would be best to complain
on any unknown hash value, which would change the code that's in there as of
right now, make things slightly less efficient, but in the end perhaps be the
best solution. i was headed in this direction myself. i'll mull it over a
little longer, if i end up liking the idea that will probably be what happens.
