Well, he was first to it :P

I take offence* here! The only difference was "list(map(d.get, x))" vs
"[hashindex[s] for s in string]" (11 chars) and my longer naming scheme. If
you really care enough about those to sway your judgement, shame on you! ;)

That was a choice, not a bug. I didn't want undefined behaviour, so I
thought I'd leave it to crash on "bad" input than sort in a way that may be
unwanted. Even Ian Kelly gave this as way of coding it.
