Feature request: equalp keys for cron jobs

[fstamour]

I just came up with a situation where I'd like to add a bunch of jobs, something like this:

• update from server 1
• update from server 2
• update from server 3

So it could've been nice to use lists as hash-keys, something like that:

(mapcar (lambda (server)
          (cl-cron:make-cron-job
           (lambda () (update server))
           :hash-key '(update server)))
        '(1 2 3))

Would that make sense?

From what I saw, that key is only used when removing the jobs.

In the meantime, I'll hack something with symbolicate :P

Can you not simply format a string for this identifier?

Can you not simply format a string for this identifier?

That would also require :test 'equal.

(defvar *cron-jobs-hash* (make-hash-table)
  "contains a hash of all cron-job objects that need to be run")

…
  (setf (gethash hash-key *cron-jobs-hash*)
	(make-instance 'cron-job 

oh so yes, an equal or equalp test seems legitimate.
