+-- 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.
