+functionality of
+@url{https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/blob/master/khash.h, khash} to
+Python and Cython and can be used seamlessly in numpy or pandas.  Numpy's
+world is lacking the concept of a (hash-)set.  This shortcoming is fixed and
+efficient (memory- and speedwise compared to pandas) @code{unique} and
+@code{isin} are implemented.  Python-set/dict have a big memory-footprint.
+For some datatypes the overhead can be reduced by using khash by factor 4-8.")
