  32 --  This package provides a generic hashing function over strings, suitable for
  33 --  use with a string keyed hash table. In particular, it is the basis for the
  34 --  string hash functions in Ada.Containers.
  35 --
  36 --  The algorithm used here is not appropriate for applications that require
  37 --  cryptographically strong hashes, or for applications that wish to use very
  38 --  wide hash values as pseudo unique identifiers. In such cases please refer
  39 --  to GNAT.SHA1 and GNAT.MD5.
