Description
It would be good to provide some documentation about what properties are expected of the input hash for `InsertHash`. For example, a reasonable question is: if my data is a set of 64-bit ints, can I use them directly as the "hash"? I ran some experiments with that and got bad results. I also got bad results when I used a simplistic hash function (xor and multiply by large prime). Does it require good avalanche characteristics?
