Mutmur hash has three stages:
1. Computation of hash for blocks (32bit or 128bit)
2. Compitation of hash for tail (remainder)
3. Finalization.

I will be very happy, if step 1 will be represented as an 
output range. Then it can be used directly like reduce 
aggregator for ranges and multidimensional slices.

Done

Not thoroughly tested but updated for range and taking an ulong

I know you're joking, but I've been using my tablet for 
programming for the last couple weeks and it's surprisingly 
great.  Using the excellent and free Termux Android app for 
common OSS packages 
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux=en) 
and a bluetooth keyboard (the somewhat dated Rapoo E6100), I've 
been able to get ldc built natively on Android 
(http://forum.dlang.org/thread/ycvtkeiyffhaixxpz...@forum.dlang.org).


The tablet display is only 8.4" but so high-resolution, at 359 
ppi, that it doesn't matter, particularly for a shell prompt.  
Its Exynos 5420 octa-core CPU is surprisingly fast, building 
llvm-optimized phobos in just over a minute.  I prop the tablet 
up against something on my desk, and if I want to read a webpage, 
I can simply pick it up and hold it in my hands while reading.


I'm living in the future!  Just thought I'd share. :)

Just to nit pick, using an external keyboard makes it more of a 
laptop than a tablet.


A nitpick for a nitpick is fair game. :)

However, there are distinct differences with this setup.  For 
one, the tablet and keyboard combined weigh just under 1.5 lbs, 
which is much lighter than almost any laptop.  And you'd have to 
compare it to one of the new detachable laptops, as you can't 
just pick up most laptop screens and read them in one hand, as I 
can with this tablet.


Of course, it's all about trade-offs: I find myself surprisingly 
comfortable with this small 8.4" diagonal screen, others may not 
be.  The bluetooth keyboard repeatedly loses a couple keystrokes 
when starting typing after a minute's break, which appears to be 
a known Android problem.  Chrome on Android will annoyingly not 
save your zoom level for various websites, as the desktop version 
does, which is particularly needed for this high-resolution 
display, meaning I repeatedly have to Ctrl-+ or pinch-zoom on 
sites over and over again to get the right text zoom back.  I do 
have split-screen multi-window for many apps, as it's a flagship 
Samsung tablet.


Desktop Android's certainly not there yet for everybody, but it 
is for my admittedly low demands, and soon will be for everybody, 
as google has said they're working on built-in multi-window for 
the next version of Android.

Current version is suitable for arrays but not ranges or types.

Few examples:
1. Compute hash of ulong.
2. Compute hash of all elements in matrix column (element are in 
different arrays).

It is on the list but definitive answer will be known closer to 
the conference when all technical points of venue preparation are 
taken care of.
