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