  Description     : Fast match replacement to speed up repeated look-ups by keeping a hash table in memory.

R package providing a fast match() replacement for cases that require repeated look-ups. It is slightly faster that R's built-in match() function on first match against a table, but extremely fast on any subsequent lookup as it keeps the hash table in memory.
