Then you should know that hashes aren't used for serial lookups. Hashes 
are for when you know the key but not the data. In a sequential 
scheduling all the objects needs to be parsed and Nagios doesn't have 
the key to the next object before it has all the data.

It's not documented because it's irrelevant to the user. You need to 
read the file html/docs/checkscheduling.html in the nagios distribution 
you need. In particular you want the section on interleave factor, but 
it's most likely a good idea to read all of it.

Feel free to submit a patch. I'm not sure you'll have much luck with it 
though, since this is an issue where everyone seems to have an opinion.

Not if you've read the docs. The mangling is necessary (well, not 
exactly, but it allows for very nice code shortcuts).

I know perfectly well what expected means. I also know that assumption 
is the mother of all fuckups. What I think but don't know is that you 
haven't read the docs (front to back), so you've made assumptions as a 
substitute for knowledge. What I completely fail to understand is why 
you seem to be angry with people just because your assumptions were wrong.
