I suspect that some of the participants in this thread have PL/Proxy in
mind.  PL/Proxy should probably ship its own set of hash functions.

If we ever get built-in partitioning by hash (see thread nearby and most
previous ones like it), we should also think about providing a hash
function that doesn't change output over versions and is independent of
hash index implementation concerns.
