 If more than one stream of numbers is required, it is best to use multiple
 instances of FibonacciRng objects rather than rely on one.
 
+### Hashing
+
+As more as an experiment than anything else, it is also possible to use
+the generator as a primitive hash generator. To do so, create a new
+generator with a salt value, append data to it, and the retrieve the results
+as a (big) number of or a string.
