yeah, i only brought it up because it was new code being proposed, and
no reason to have yet another undocumented place where this needed
to be fixed.
but, it seems from further info that the hash functions are used elsewhere in
the module in such a way that the parameter ends up treated as a uint no
matter what, so i don't think there's much to be done without tackling
the larger problem. so, sorry for the noise :)
