I don't get how this could be used. I tried to imagine, and ended up with something wrong. This is what I imagined:

You have a list of hash functions, and choose one at random, then hash a password. Later a hacker gets these hashed passwords, and has an extra hard time? But this wouldn't work for checking passwords because you wouldn't know what hash.

What is a real use case?
