I don't think you'd want to do that. First, it wouldn't even solve  
the problem (e.g. because of the precision issues you raised before  
-- you can have two elements of the same ring with different  
precision and hence presumably different hashes, which still compare  
equal). Second, I can't even see technically how you would do that  
without modifying python in some horrible way.
