One comment here:

  It is better to create new environments as:

       x <- new.env(hash=TRUE, parent=emptyenv())

   When using an environment as a hashtable, you really do not want
   any inheritance (hence the emptyenv() as parent).  For small
   environments with fewer than 50 (made up number) elements, the
   default hash=FALSE is probably fine.
