  phash2(Term)

  There is no documentation for phash2/2

  phash2(Term, Range)

  Portable hash function that gives the same hash for the same
  Erlang term regardless of machine architecture and ERTS version.

  The function returns a hash value for Term within the range 
  0..Range-1. The maximum value for Range is 2^32. When without
  argument Range, a value in the range 0..2^27-1 is returned.

  This BIF is always to be used for hashing terms. It distributes
  small integers better than phash/2, and it is faster for bignums
  and binaries.

  Notice that the range 0..Range-1 is different from the range of 
  phash/2, which is 1..Range.
