		21:05 UTC Revision 1 . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago, I had a very specific need. I had some data which had to be anonymized before sending somewhere. For example, assume that you have a CSV file with people’s names in one column, and some (possibly sensitive) data in the rest of the columns. I’d like to change all the names to some (pseudo)random stuff, but with the caveat that if some name appears more than once, it should be changed to the same thing every time.
