It doesn't generate perfect hashes for integer keys. Rather unfortunate.

But, regardless, it may be something that should be considered for improving
the efficiency of larger tables, such as the SAP types. One relatively
simple option might be to require that the value lists be kept in sorted
order - then just do simple binary searches on them instead.
