Greetings all,

I have been working on MCE::OrdHash, a sharable ordered hash module for use with MCE::Shared. These things will be included with MCE 1.7 when released. MCE::OrdHash is 100% compatible with Tie::IxHash. It overlays a modified tombstone deletion seen in Hash::Ordered. It supports both OO and Tie. The OO interface is faster, but provides auto-tie on-demand when hash-like dereferencing is requested. This is done via an autoload directive.

The Push and Unshift methods in MCE::OrdHash merges for existing keys to remain compatible with Tie::IxHash. It adds two methods when reorder is desired. The method names are PushRo and UnshiftRo. Reorder means having to delete an existing key prior to inserting.

I seek for the opinion of other monks on the naming of PushRo and UnshiftRo. Should I name these something else?

Thank you, Mario

If interested, I benchmarked against Hash::Ordered and Tie::IxHash. I have dropped MCE::Hash::Indexed (OI) and keeping MCE::Hash::Ordered (OT) which is now MCE::OrdHash.
