Patch submissions (put in this thread, WELL Labeled) are OK.
MR user should be cautioned about using experimental code.

Now the critique. A hash may only be good at the time.
ANY change to the book (polish, embed, edit) will change that value.
How do you NOW know the value is stale???

Value Storage: A custom column will stay with the Library
