I think there is enough room in a package to have both
message-digest
algorithm and other kinds of hash functions.
Even if that were the case, I'd say they should be kept separate.
Cryptographic hash functions serve extremely different purposes
from regular hash functions. There is no reason they should be
categorized the same.
