Md5 has an extremely remote chance of two class names hashing to the same value. 
Some people have argued this is unacceptable, though I opine that the odds are 
so low they are unimaginable to humans.

A replacement that has a perceptible collision rate will be unacceptable.

This is not a hash backed up by a string compare. The hash has to be a 
substitute for the string compare.
