Oh goodie, lots of new hash functions to test :-) I'll pass the
interesting ones on to the guys with the serious hash-testing equipment.
I think the original poster was thinking more along the lines of a
generic insertion, deletion and lookup interface, which we are now
doing in an almost-generic way in a few places. Once place that is
distinctly un-generic is the buffer hash, for no good reason that I
can see. This would be a good starting point for a demonstration.
