    Transforming a string for the sole purpose of lookup is problably the
    stupidest idea ever. We are not trying to save a couple of bytes, but
    trying to speedup lookups in the PieceTable, where the lookup are being
    performed by comparing large keys (strings) were the keyspace is tighter
    and defined (we have a defined and finite set of keys, aka properties).
