I prefer std.hash to std.digest, but I don't necessarily care all that much.
What I was objecting to in particular was the suggestion to split it into
std.hash.digest and std.hash.func. I think that all of the hashing algorithms
should just go in the one package. Adding another layer is an unnecessary
complication IMHO.
