int objects have their own hash algorithm, built in to long_hash() in
Objects/longobject.c. The hash of an int is the value of the int, unless
it's -1 or doesn't fit into the native type.
Can someone elaborate on this special case, please? I can see the code
there, but there's no comment. Is there some value in not hashing to
-1?
Returning -1 indicates an error / exception. So hash functions never
return -1 as a hash value.
