I think of hash like an alternative to block for select ot switch with many
cases (>50 ?). Your is of les off 15 and the dfference between hash and block
is too low to change the result.
The idea is change:
switch x [a [] b []..]
with
k: to hash [a [] b []..] ;make it only one time
and then
do select k x
I had no hope on your markup example, i made the opposite in my script:
started with markup and end with string because more fast and more easy to
control, because checked inside a parse rule block.
