I don't think that this is generally a good idea. It might be
beneficial in your situation, but certainly not for everybody in all
situations. I've been using the HashTable implementation in several
projects with great success. In other projects I've been using the
BTree package on SqueakSource that provides similar functionality
optimized for yet another context. These highly specialized data
structures should only be applied if they make sense in the given
context (and if you understand both, the cost and gain). I guess this
was exactly the reason why SkipList was removed from the Pharo image.
