- Compute the hash by iterating sparsely over about 32 (up to 63)
- characters spaced evenly through the string. For each character,
- multiply the previous hash value by a prime number and add the new
- character in, like a linear congruential random number generator,
- producing a pseudorandom deterministic value well distributed over
- the output range. [LIU]
