Of keys and MAXHANDLE

	Ok dudes, i didn't mean to be nasty :-) The only thing i like
you to change to your software is:
	Generate a key which reflects the type of the referenced object. For
instance if you make a key for an AS, you can generate the key:
"*an:AS1755" instead of just "as1755". Same thing for the person:
"*pn:AS1755" instead of just "as1755". So nasty people like me won't
screw up other nicw people's data.

PS: seems a easy patch? and that can help me *a lot*
