Equal hashables must have the same hashValue.  If you violate this rule,
all bets are off.  As the doc says:

  A hash value, provided by a type's hashValue property, is an integer
  that is the same for any two instances that compare equally. That is,
  for two instances a and b of the same type, if a == b then a.hashValue
  == b.hashValue.
