[racket-dev] hashes in ASL

If I type "hash" in the Help Desk, I get
hash provided from racket/base, racket
but not from ASL, in contrast to, say, "list", which gives
list provided from racket/base, racket
list provided from r5rs
list provided from rnrs/base-6
list provided from lang/htdp-advanced
and much more.
So that's the sense in which it (and other hash functions) are missing
from the docs. [Were, I haven't tried your latest push.]

Yeah, but that just misses too many use cases. Since the language is
already mutative, I see nothing gained.
Thanks for the new push.
