I've not heard of spanhash representation before. Any references or
further reading?

   Exact renames are tasked with finding renames even
if they are known to not be relevant, simply because exact renames can
do so very quickly.  If we change that, we throw a monkey wrench in
our performance handling elsewhere and have to rethink a number of
other things.
