Summary

0005454: Digest.compare is missing and md5 doc update

Description

Digest.compare would be nice to be able to directly give the module to Set.Make and Map.Make. Besides the doc states :

"The digests are of cryptographic quality: it is very hard, given a digest, to forge a string having that digest. The algorithm used is MD5."

The assertion is still true, however it should be mentioned that md5 is no longer secure in a malicious setting as it is vulnerable to collision attacks.

Best,

Daniel
