David is hung up on fuzzy hashing.

Personally, _neither_ the fuzzy hash nor AVL's are going back right now,
and if anything does make it into 2.2 it would probably be AVL's just
because the code has been so well tested in 2.0.x.

However, I'm not at all convinced that "efence slows down" is an argument
at all - I want to hear some _real_ applications slow down rather than
debugging code.
