The PragmAda Reusable Components contain an implementation of Pearson's 
hashing function for Strings. This function returns a byte as the hash 
value. This is not directly appropriate for the components in 
Ada.Containers, which require a much larger range of values. Whether it 
is appropriate for the Charles library is another question, and not one 
I can answer.
