Not really, it's only concerned with providing an implementation std::tr1::hash - ie. for TR1 style unordered associative containers. Which is why it's officially called 'Boost.Functional/Hash', although I know that name's unpopular - 'TR1 Hash' might be better.
Yeah, I don't see what functional has to do with it...
Well, Boost.Functional is concerned with enhancing the functional header and TR1 hash lives in the functional header. Although I suppose it has a few other boost libraries for neighbours there. Also, it perhaps doesn't deserve a place at the 'top level' as for most people it's just an implementation detail. I'm not that bothered about the name, I don't think it was my idea. But I'd like to put of any reorganisation until after the migration to subversion - just so I can track renames.
Perhaps. Largely the intent of my email was partially to encourage folks to think about working with Sean et. al. on synergy with other Boost libraries. In this case, maybe it's in name only...
Sorry if I sounded negative. I think it would be great to have an SHA and MD5 library in Boost, But right now, I haven't got the energy to get much done. Daniel
