Thanks for translating from Roedyese into English.  I was having no luck 
at all with it.

Iirc, the strings in a case statement are hashed.  I seem to recall the 
implementer posting about how it worked, and he used a perfect hash for 
the strings, so it should be faster (slightly) than a regular hash map.
