[PATCH] exclude: improve wide-character hashing


From: Paul Eggert
Subject: [PATCH] exclude: improve wide-character hashing
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2021 17:20:54 -0700

* lib/exclude.c (string_hasher_ci): Take the modulo at the end
rather than each time a wide character is retrieved; this should
be more efficient and should hash better.
