I agree that in general collections are better managed by reference. But if you need a hash that you know will not contain more than 10-20 items, and you need max performance, and you don't need to pass it around, than value in-place hash may be useful. I have used it some times. This is not a generic case, but beside the normal collections, Phobos2 may add few little value ones like this. Bye, bearophile
