Do you put an "Object" in, or an "object" in, here is a big difference. 
Also, how often do you put an object in expecting it to be hashed based 
on value vs based on identity? My point was that most of the time the 
expectation is that the hash is based on value, not identity.

And you're not being intellectually honest about the cost of having a 
built-in hashCode() for every object.

I'm not saying there isn't value, but that there would be just as much 
value in using alternative approaches, including using an external 
Hasher. And those approaches provide additional flexibility that isn't 
available in the current library.
