A hash should distribute its domain across its range as evenly as possible. 1:1 is ideal. When input and output are ints, 1:1 is trivial to accomplish. Ergo, I don't see how its hash properties can get better, and, can't get any faster than this. I don't think there's any good reason for that commented-out code.
