    management.  The paper clearly describes many of the ideas embodied in
    our current hashing code, but as far as I could find out there is not
    a direct code heritage.  (Mike Olsen recalls discussion of this paper
    at Postgres meetings but believes it "informed the Postgres implementation
    probably just at the design level".  Margo herself says she wasn't
    involved with Postgres' hash code.)  Credit where credit is due 'n all
    that, even if fifteen years after the fact.
