I think that was DJB's DNS server/cache actually.
But deciding to limit collisions in a specific application is not the
same as limiting them in the general case. Python dicts have a lot of
use cases that are not limited to storing URL parameters, domain names
or instance attributes: there is a greater risk of meeting pathological
cases with legitimate keys. |
