this is somewhat tangential; i am not necessarily talking of=20
hashing, but more cryptographic functions shipped with Guile as a=20
whole.

if Guile is going to ship with a cryptographic hash function, what=20
about other cryptographic functions?  Are we satisfied with the=20

documented in the manual, at least not explicitly.
