Re^17: Is there any difference between prototype % and @ ?

doesn't even try to use the hmap or hgrep you defended so long

I made no attempt to "defend". There is nothing to "defend".
I offered an alternative, With reasoning. (I'm not forcing anyone to agree; nor use my ideas.)
you needed to introduce completely new hpairs

I use (or construct) the right tool for the job.
still needs a unhpairs to flatten LoA before assigning to a new hash after chain

Nothing new required, map serves the purpose perfectly.
I could already use my hmap in your solution, so no need to create hpairs

Look as hard as I might; I can't find your definition of hmap?
you really hate symmetry, don't you?

Nope! I "hate" very little. (And is that less "personal" that my recognising your ability?)
But I do not seek to artificially impose symmetry where it does not naturally belong.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
