Hash/Type version 1.05

Hash::Type - pseudo-hashes as arrays tied to a "type" (list of fields)

A Hash::Type is a collection of field names. Internally, an index is associated with each name. Such collections are created dynamically and can be extended. They are used to build tied hashes, either through C<tie> or through object-oriented method calls; such tied hashes :

• are 'restricted' (will only accept operations on names previously declared in their Hash::Type)
• are implemented internally as arrays (so they use less memory)
• can be sorted efficiently through comparison functions generated and compiled by the class
