//
// This file implements the newly proposed standard C++ interfaces for hashing
// arbitrary data and building hash functions for user-defined types. This
// interface was originally proposed in N3333[1] and is currently under review
// for inclusion in a future TR and/or standard.
//
// The primary interfaces provide are comprised of one type and three functions:
//
//  -- 'hash_code' class is an opaque type representing the hash code for some
//     data. It is the intended product of hashing, and can be used to implement
//     hash tables, checksumming, and other common uses of hashes. It is not an
//     integer type (although it can be converted to one) because it is risky
//     to assume much about the internals of a hash_code. In particular, each
//     execution of the program has a high probability of producing a different
//     hash_code for a given input. Thus their values are not stable to save or
//     persist, and should only be used during the execution for the
//     construction of hashing datastructures.
//
//  -- 'hash_value' is a function designed to be overloaded for each
//     user-defined type which wishes to be used within a hashing context. It
//     should be overloaded within the user-defined type's namespace and found
//     via ADL. Overloads for primitive types are provided by this library.
//
//  -- 'hash_combine' and 'hash_combine_range' are functions designed to aid
//      programmers in easily and intuitively combining a set of data into
//      a single hash_code for their object. They should only logically be used
//      within the implementation of a 'hash_value' routine or similar context.
//
// Note that 'hash_combine_range' contains very special logic for hashing
// a contiguous array of integers or pointers. This logic is *extremely* fast,
// on a modern Intel "Gainestown" Xeon (Nehalem uarch) @2.2 GHz, these were
// benchmarked at over 6.5 GiB/s for large keys, and <20 cycles/hash for keys
// under 32-bytes.
