/** @file entry-id.hpp
** Bare symbolic and hash ID used for accounting of asset like entries.
** This ID can be used to register instances with an accounting table, without all the
** overhead of creating individual assets for each entry. The datafields in the symbolic part
** of the ID are similar to the asset identity tuple; the idea is to promote individual entries
** to full fledged assets on demand. Alongside with the symbolic identity, which can be reduced
** to just a Symbol and (compile time) type information, we store the derived hash value as LUID.
**
** @note as of 3/2010 this is an experimental setup and exists somewhat in parallel
** to the assets. We're still in the process of finding out what's really required
** to keep track of all the various kinds of objects. ///////////////////TICKET #739
**
** @see asset::Asset::Ident
** @see entry-id-test.cpp

* of the std library (and boost) have the smaller and platform dependent
* type of \c size_t. This hack here assumes that size_t corresponds to void*,
* which is correct for i386 and AMD64. LUID provides a hook for embedding a
* void* (setting the trailing bits to zero). Finally we reinterpret the
* char[] of the LUID as a LuidH class, which is ugly, but granted to work.
* @todo several unsolved design problems. How to deal with std hash values in
* conjunction with LUID. How to create a LuidH instance, if not generating
* a new random value. How to make EntryID and asset::Ident interchangeable, /////////TICKET #739
* which would require both to yield the same hash values....

* collisions already for a small set with less than 100000 entries.
