Hi, as I understand it, the datatype is just like a block from a
functional point of view but supports fast lookup for key/value pairs.
So if you have an even number of key/value pairs inside a hash! and
use find, it will use a binary-tree search approach, much faster than
a sequential search through the block.

Hope this helps...
