; (string-digest string)          ==>  integer
; (string-digest string integer)  ==>  integer
;
; Create a digest of the given string and return it. If specified,
; INTEGER determines the maximum size of the digest (2^INTEGER).
;
; CAVEAT: This procedures uses a simple non-cryptographic BSD
; sum-style algorithm. It should be replaced with a function
; generating more unique digests.
;
; The maximum digest size defaults to 2^32.
;
; Example:   (string-digest "hello")  ==>  2107915172
