 The "workaround" is to treat string as you would treat any of your
 own classes which you want to store in a hashed container:  write a
 specialization for it.
 
 The hashing components came from SGI.  Here is their documentation:

 Read the notes at the end, and follow the "hash model" link for more
 examples.
