1. Just a little confused as to the name "Hash2" when there is no "Hash1" ? Perhaps this was explained earlier and I missed it.
"Hash1" is the library formerly known as Functional/Hash, and now named ContainerHash. It defines the function object boost::hash.
(Whereas Hash2 defines its stuff in namespace boost::hash2.)
Since Hash2 depends on ContainerHash for several traits and functions both have the same dependencies (Config, Assert, Describe, Mp11), and both are about hashing... Wouldn't make sense to merge both libraries into a single Hash library?
Maybe, eventually. ContainerHash doesn't accept a seed at the moment, and there isn't that much to be gained by the merge. We also have existing hash_value overloads in user code, and these have to continue working.
