Hash::int - provide a hash with native integer keys

SYNOPSIS

use Hash::int;

my %hash is Hash::int = 42 => "foo", 666 => "bar";

DESCRIPTION

Hash::int is module that provides the Hash::int class to be applied to the initialization of an Associative, making it limit the keys to native integers that fit the int type. This allows this module to take some shortcuts, making it up to 7x as fast as a normal hash.
