If NOERROR is non-nil, silently assume the `raw-text' coding if the
guesswork fails. Normally, an error is signaled in such case.
This function is semi-obsolete, since for most purposes it is equivalent
to calling `secure-hash` with the symbol `md5' as the ALGORITHM
argument. The OBJECT, START and END arguments have the same meanings as
in `secure-hash'.
Note that MD5 is not collision resistant and should not be used for
anything security-related. See `secure-hash' for alternatives. */)
