Answering my own question: with int keys, it would be very easy to implement "interfaces that provide access to pointers of any type the user wants", that Richard does not want to support. Static strings indeed are a way to lock the API to "narrowly defined purposes". OK, I'm good :-) Thanks a lot for your explanations, Richard!
