digitalmars.D.announce - Indigo template containers 0.8

Indigo is a project to provide general containers for D that look & feel  
like the Qt 4.0 container classes, and additionally harmonize very well  
with D specialities. This is version 0.8, containing the new Hash (with  
dup() and opEquals() missing), and some tweaks in Map. Next to come will  
be a Set.

I really have to apologize for the plumpy statement that Map outperforms  
the builtin hash... One more second thinking about it should have made the  
impossibility of that fact clear to me. My performance test was clumsy at  
best, the results being less than 1/10 of the real times (interestingly  
this is due to processor cache effects, not because of some algorithmic  
detail ─ that really shows the importance of algorithm redesign with  
caching in mind). At least the new Hash seems to be a bit faster than the  
builtin one, at least for 500,000 elements.

Thanks & ciao
