OK, but then why should Aldor SInt be something different if you want 
that SInt generated by Aldor from a .as file can also be used in FriCAS.

I agree with Waldek that hashes should get a separate type. But wouldn't 
that also mean to change Aldor sources? Maybe in the aldor compiler 
sources they have already a special type which is only later mapped to 
SInt. I haven't checked and I certainly are unable to tell for sure.
