Sure, but for folks that don't expect to be able to retrieve a key
from anywhere, it should still work. But that is a weird use case
anyway, unless the cache is in local mode in which case DIST doesn't
apply.
Right, you can do it in local mode. His hashcode routine would of course
still work for that, that is if you wanted to have datacontainer alwyas
use it (probably a good idea).
