+Name:                hashable
+Version:             1.0.0
+Synopsis:            Class Hashable providing a hash method.
+Description:         This package provides a class 'Hashable', which contains
+                     one method @'hash' :: 'Hashable' a => a -> 'Int'@, which
+                     returns the hash of the given element.
+                     .
+                     The instances for various integral types, 'String' and 'ByteString'
+                     are provided.
