Ok, this I understand.
What I don't understand is why a box can only be used as a key in a
hash, or as a non-unique string output. Why not both?
I mean, why should this fail:
var hash = {};
var key = ibex.box;
hash[key] = "blah";
ibex.log.info(key);
Why is key not interpreted correctly depending on circumstance?
