Tell Feedback that you want this! I sent this request to
Feedback on July 7, but I think they up the priority of
enhancement requests if more people submit them.
This feature would render most of the associative data
structure conversation moot. We would still need for the
hash! type to hash more than any-string! values. At least
words, numbers and tuples should be hashed as well.
Spread the word!
