# the structure is pretty simple: it's a single string, containing
# items like so:
#
#    \n KEY 0x00 VALUE 0x00 \n
#    \n KEY2 0x00 VALUE2 0x00 \n
#    ...
#
# undef values are represented using $UNDEF_VALUE, a hacky magic string.
# Only simple scalars can be stored; refs of any kind produce a croak().
#
# writes are slowest, reads are slow, but memory usage is very low
# compared to a "real" hash table -- in other words, this is perfect
# for infrequently-read data that has to be kept around but should
# affect memory usage as little as possible.
