I like 'container_hash'  as I think it's fairly clear, or perhaps
'unordered_hash'. I'm not keen on an abbreviation like 'chash', this
won't be typed a lot so clarity is more important than concision. As
this is a small support library, something like conan will often
install it for non-obvious reasons, so the name should be clear for
users who've never heard of it, so I don't like 'pound'. And from
other mails, I'm not keen on 'hash_core' as it suggests this is the
core for other libraries.

So for now, I'm thinking 'container_hash'. I'll wait a few more days
to allow for any other feedback.
