35       val hash : t -> int
36
37       A  hashing function on keys. It must be such that if two keys are equal
38       according to equal , then they have identical hash values  as  computed
39       by  hash .  Examples: suitable ( equal , hash ) pairs for arbitrary key
40       types include
41
42       -        ( (=) , Hashtbl.HashedType.hash )  for  comparing  objects  by
43       structure (provided objects do not contain floats)
44
45       -        ( (fun x y -> compare x y = 0) , Hashtbl.HashedType.hash ) for
46       comparing objects by structure and handling nan correctly
47
48       -        ( (==) , Hashtbl.HashedType.hash ) for  comparing  objects  by
49       physical equality (e.g. for mutable or cyclic objects).
