 KeyToHash is the hashing algorithm used for every key. If this is nil, Ristretto has a variety of [defaults depending on the underlying interface type](https://github.com/dgraph-io/ristretto/blob/master/z/z.go#L19-L41).
 
+Note that if you want 128bit hashes you should use the full `[2]uint64`,
+otherwise just fill the `uint64` at the `0` position and it will behave like
+any 64bit hash.

-Hashes is the number of 64-bit hashes to chain and use as unique identifiers.
-For example, if Hashes is 2, Ristretto will use 128-bit hashes to verify and

-If this value is 0 or 1, 64-bit hashes will be used.
