Well, it may end up that way. BUT it would have to be carefully
documented that this is NOT a "single-key" type of lookup, because it is
said somewhere that you can always convert between all the single-key
lookup types. For example, if you have an lsearch file, you can always
make it into a DBM file or a cdb file or a NIS map. With this new kind
of thing, that would not be possible.
