 * <p>Java's baked-in concept of hash codes is constrained to 32 bits, and provides no separation
 * between hash algorithms and the data they act on, so alternate hash algorithms can't be easily
 * substituted. Also, implementations of {@code hashCode} tend to be poor-quality, in part because
 * they end up depending on <i>other</i> existing poor-quality {@code hashCode} implementations,
 * including those in many JDK classes.
