Druntime used to have a function rt.util.hash.hashOf with signature:
size_t hashOf( const(void)* buf, size_t len, size_t seed )

Which made up most references to 'hashOf' within druntime (by TypeInfos.)

I wouldn't be surprised if this bug was due to thinking it's calling
rt.util.hash.hashOf instead of object.hashOf.

Mistaking core.internal.hash.hashOf for rt.util.hash.hashOf was responsible for
a recent regression.
