I'm in strings, not 64 bit keys. But thanks, nice to share ideas.

The idea is to hash the string into a 64-bit key. You can store the string in a value, or you can have a separate vector and make the value a struct that has the key and the value.

The chance of colliding on the 64-bit space is low if the hash distributes evenly, so you just yolo it.
