So what's the problem with losing the default hash then? I thought
the default hash was basically just hash(id(obj))::
>>> class C(object):
... pass
...
>>> hash(C)
13565672
>>> hash(id(C))
13565672
>>> c = C()
>>> hash(c)
15130928
>>> hash(id(c))
15130928
If object.__hash__() disappeared, the hash(obj) versions would fail,
but the same results seem to be available as hash(id(obj)).
