container_hash chash pound (Boost.Pound) == Boost.# = hashtag = hash?
I like 'container_hash' as I think it's fairly clear, or perhaps 'unordered_hash'. I'm not keen on an abbreviation like 'chash', this won't be typed a lot so clarity is more important than concision. As this is a small support library, something like conan will often install it for non-obvious reasons, so the name should be clear for users who've never heard of it, so I don't like 'pound'. And from other mails, I'm not keen on 'hash_core' as it suggests this is the core for other libraries. So for now, I'm thinking 'container_hash'. I'll wait a few more days to allow for any other feedback.
