-------------------------------------

>  - hash codes should strive to be unique across the Query hierarchy, not just 
> unique within one specific
> subclass. For example, TermQuery(t) and SpanTermQuery(t) will generate the 
> exact same hash codes. 

This has the disadvantage that the structure information added by the query 
parser is lost in the hash.
In case a hash is needed over the query text before parsing, one can use 
precisely that.
What's the point of hash code uniqueness over subclasses?
