Maybe not a bad idea.
SipHash2-4 for MD5 replacement, as we've done so far. This is when we
actually want things to be secure (and fast).
And then HalfSipHash1-3 for certain jhash replacements. This is for
when we're talking only about DoS or sort of just joking about
security, and want things to be very competitive with jhash. (Of
course for 64-bit we'd use SipHash1-3 instead of HalfSipHash for the
speedup.)
I need to think on this a bit more, but preliminarily, I guess this
would be maybe okay...
George, JP - what do you think?
