Yes, my being puzzled comes from the fact those functions have to do with
hashing a C-style string and not linking format, and looking at the
code, I cannot possibly phantom a reason for the descrimination.
Alas, GCL's documentation is just as verbose as Axiom's...

Many thanks; I'll carefully study a simplication.
