Hello Everybody
 For those who write long programs in AWK, pointers and working with strong values are essential.

Enough long programs have been written in awk over the past 40 years or so to make that statement clearly not true.

 I would like to introduce  to my small project - a compact user-level awk library designed for generating "unique" strings that is may be used as the abstract pointers in awk.

Please post a minimal, complete example of how your library would be used to solve a problem. Show an awk script with vs without your library, for example. Don't expect people to have to go clicking around reading external sites to understand your post.
