I am new so this is probably old news. Maybe need to place warning in manual under btrees.
Not a bug, just a pain in the a...
Been tracking a wierd behavior when I was using (get-value str *db*) and I could not get out what I put in.
Tracked it down to the keys being of different string types. One of simple-base-string and the other of (simple-array character).
(setf (get-value (namestring #p"asd") *db*) "foo")
(get-value "asd" *db*) -> NIL
Section 2.9 mentions that the BTrees hash on value via the serialization and i'm sure that the two string type serialize differently. Maybe a line like:
"Hashing on strings of different types will result in separate hash entries."
Thank you,
