I thought this the appropriate incantation, but it produces an Access Violation:

    uint hash = typeid(char[]).getHash (myCharArray);

Put an & in front of myCharArray.

Thank you Walter;

It's non-intuitive, and contrary to typical array=>void * conversion mechanics. But it does work, and that's good enough for me right now <g>

And I would've thought this the appropriate incantation:

    uint hash = myCharArray.toHash;

Objects have the toHash property, why not arrays and atomic types?
