//! Generic hashing support.
//!
//! This module provides a generic way to compute the hash of a value. The
//! simplest way to make a type hashable is to use `#[deriving(Hash)]`:
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::hash;
//! use std::hash::Hash;
//!
//! #[deriving(Hash)]
//! struct Person {
//!     id: uint,
//!     name: String,
//!     phone: u64,
//! }
//!
//! let person1 = Person { id: 5, name: "Janet".to_string(), phone: 555_666_7777 };
//! let person2 = Person { id: 5, name: "Bob".to_string(), phone: 555_666_7777 };
//!
//! assert!(hash::hash(&person1) != hash::hash(&person2));
//! ```
//!
//! If you need more control over how a value is hashed, you need to implement
//! the trait `Hash`:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::hash;
//! use std::hash::Hash;
//! use std::hash::sip::SipState;
//!
//! struct Person {
//!     id: uint,
//!     name: String,
//!     phone: u64,
//! }
//!
//! impl Hash for Person {
//!     fn hash(&self, state: &mut SipState) {
//!         self.id.hash(state);
//!         self.phone.hash(state);
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! let person1 = Person { id: 5, name: "Janet".to_string(), phone: 555_666_7777 };
//! let person2 = Person { id: 5, name: "Bob".to_string(), phone: 555_666_7777 };
//!
//! assert!(hash::hash(&person1) == hash::hash(&person2));
//! ```
