I think generalization is a good argument, but "don't pollute the
namespace" is not. Interesting, widely used cryptographically secure
hash functions (which, I suppose, are the target of
crypto-hash-function) are introduced at a rate of one every X years, X
>> 1. (md5 is from 1992, sha-1 is from 1995, sha-2 is from 2001).
I'm pretty sure we "pollute the namespace" with all kind of functiosn
at a rate several orders of magnitude bigger than that ;-)
