 DESCRIPTION
     Returns a hash value for one or more values of arbitrary types.
 
+    This function implements the Fowler/Noll/Vo hash-1 (FNV-1 hash).
+    The basis of the hash algorithm was taken from an idea sent
+    by Email to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2 mailing list from Phong Vo
+    (kpv@research.att.com) and Glenn Fowler (gsf@research.att.com).
+    Landon Curt Noll (http://reality.sgi.com/chongo) later improved on
+    their algorithm to come up with Fowler/Noll/Vo hash.
+
+    See:
+
+	http://reality.sgi.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv/index.html
+
+    for more information in this hash.

 EXAMPLE
     > a = isqrt(2e1000); s = "xyz";
