component None → range

hash_value would be nice for iterator range. See [77976] for how an example of how to support it, hash_value is picked up by ADL.

The problem with operator bool is really a design flaw in Boost.Hash. It should be possible to turn it into an error by defining the macro BOOST_HASH_NO_IMPLICIT_CASTS, although that isn't defined by default because it might break valid code.

I'll attempt to implement the additional hash_value support by release 1.50. It looks simple enough. I will not remove the conversion to bool since this is a documented part of the public interface, and is not in error.
