swizzle
 v.

   To convert external names, array indices, or references within a data
   structure into address pointers when the data structure is brought
   into main memory from external storage (also called pointer
   swizzling); this may be done for speed in chasing references or to
   simplify code (e.g., by turning lots of name lookups into pointer
   dereferences). The converse operation is sometimes termed unswizzling.
