This doesn't apply to my master branch.

Any special reason for using 'char' as type for key here? Given the left shift
below i would prefer 'unsigned char' to avoid having to think about
whether this can overflow. The end result wouldn't look different,
so more or less a cosmetic issue.

With that minor nitpick:
