[R] Is there a hash data structure for R

[Jan van der Laan]

True, but in a lot of cases where a python user might use a dict an R 
user will probably use a list; or when we are talking about arrays of 
dicts in python, the R solution will probably be a data.frame (with each 
dict field in a separate column).
