     Returns a hash value for one or more values of arbitrary types.
 
     The calc hash value is based on the core Fowler/Noll/Vo hash
-    known as FNV-1.  The return value, however, cannot be used
+    known as FNV-0.  The return value, however, cannot be used
     as an FNV hash value because calc's internal function also
     takes into account more abstract concepts such as data types.
 
-    See:
+    WARNING: Use of FNV-0 is NOT recommended for general purposes.
+    	     Calc uses FNV-0 for internal objects such as associative
+	     arrays as well as other internal processes.  Calc
+	     maintains the use of FNV-0 for backwards compatibility.
+
+	     You should use the FNV-1a hash instead!!!!!
+
+    Use the fnv() builtin function for general quick, non-cryptographic
+    hash purposes.
