Re: [boost] Namespace for a Boost Hashing Library

I initially used boost::hash, forgetting that the unordered containers have already claimed that name.  A number of alternatives have been proposed, so I hoped to get some thoughts from the wider community.

Stealing from Wikipedia... "The values returned by a hash function are called hash values, hash codes, hash sums, checksums or simply hashes." ... what about boost::hash_codes. Most other things that have been suggested sound fine. However, abbreviating algorithm as algo as part of hash_algo drives me batty. It doesn't break the word on a syllable. Moreover, said aloud it sounds like either a cheesy superhero or a poorly made automobile. - Rhys
