--- Comment #1 from Steven Schveighoffer <schveiguy at yahoo.com> ---
As I determined in that thread, note that core.internal.hash.hashOf does not do
the same thing as object.hashOf. It hashes only the bits of the given type.

I can't think of a single valid reason for hashing the pointer and length of an
array instead of the contents of the array. I don't know the right answer here,
but at the very least hashOf isn't documented or understood properly.
