+/// (Group number, Element number)
+/// Instead of using the two '16 bits integers' as the Hask Table key, we
+/// converted into a string (e.g. 0x0018,0x0050 converted into "0018|0050")
+/// It appears to be a huge waste of time.
+/// We'll fix the mess up -without any change in the API- as soon as the bench
+/// marks are fully performed.
