  # NAME
  
  Hash::str - provide a hash with native string keys
  
  # SYNOPSIS
  
  ```
  use Hash::str;
  
  my %hash is Hash::str = fortytwo => "foo", sixsixsix => "bar";
  
  ```
  
  # DESCRIPTION
  
  Hash::str is module that provides the `Hash::str` class to be applied to the initialization of an Associative, making it limit the keys to native string. This allows this module to take some shortcuts, but only have a very limited (a few %\_) performance improvement, so you should really only use this module if you're looking at getting those last few percent.
