public final class Hashing {
  /**
   * Returns a general-purpose, <b>temporary-use</b>, non-cryptographic hash function. The algorithm
   * the returned function implements is unspecified and subject to change without notice.
   *
   * <p><b>Warning:</b> a new random seed for these functions is chosen each time the {@code
   * Hashing} class is loaded. <b>Do not use this method</b> if hash codes may escape the current

   * implementation respects symmetry. Moreover, we don't want to reconstruct a native type variable
   * {@code <A>} using our implementation unless some of its bounds have changed in resolution. This
   * avoids creating unequal TypeVariable implementation unnecessarily. When the bounds do change,
   * however, it's fine for the synthetic TypeVariable to be unequal to any native TypeVariable
   * anyway.
