RE: [reSIProcate] FlowId Class Questions

["Derek MacDonald" <derek@xxxxxxxx>]

dlb & I talked about this; if that pointer isn't in a set of valid
pointers it will be treated as bad. It really doesn't matter if we use a
map token or an existence check by a set in this case.  We definitely can't
just treat the pointer value as gospel.

Once the GruuMonkey is more written FlowId can be tweaked to work the
either way.
