this is what i get from beeing reasonable. next time i will stand by my
principles and avoid this kind of difficult decisions :-)
since we already have a hash test (hash2, unless it too is plagued by
these kind of problems) it seems ok to remove hash.
if we want to keep it (why?), it should be called something else. i am
at a loss to find a nice name for a test that does two unrelated things.
admitedly i have made the same mistake when i tried to do a message
passing test. it involves creating processes. but i am unaware of a way
to avoid the process creation.
in this case we know how to avoid both the number->string, and the hash
part of this test. split in two, i say ;-)
one hash test (which probably would look very much like hash2) and one
number->string test. ok?
