+ * strings is simple but fast. It can be replaced by a more complex function
+ * like ajw (see [Aho,Sethi,Ullman]) if the needs are shown.
+ *
+ * We use an trick to speed up the lookup. The table is created by hcreate
+ * with one more element available. This enables us to use the index zero
+ * special. This index will never be used because we store the first hash
+ * index in the field used where zero means not used. Every other value
+ * means used. The used field can be used as a first fast comparison for
+ * equality of the stored and the parameter value. This helps to prevent
+ * unnecessary expensive calls of strcmp.
+ *
+ * This implementation differs from the standard library version of
+ * this function in a number of ways:
+ *
+ * - While the standard version does not make any assumptions about
+ *   the type of the stored data objects at all, this implementation
+ *   works with NUL terminated strings only.
+ * - Instead of storing just pointers to the original objects, we
+ *   create local copies so the caller does not need to care about the
+ *   data any more.
+ * - The standard implementation does not provide a way to update an
+ *   existing entry.  This version will create a new entry or update an
+ *   existing one when both "action == ENTER" and "item.data != NULL".
+ * - Instead of returning 1 on success, we return the index into the
+ *   internal hash table, which is also guaranteed to be positive.
+ *   This allows us direct access to the found hash table slot for
+ *   example for functions like hdelete().
