     ?

	package deal;
	public class ToBeHashed {
	    private int noGettersForMeThanks;
	    ...
	}

	package express;
	Hasher<ToBeHashed> hasher = new Hasher<ToBeHashed>() {
	    public int hashCode(ToBeHashed obj) {
	        // How do you obtain the value of
	        // obj.noGettersForMeThanks
	        // if that would be useful?
	    }
	    ...
	}

As an example of why a hasher might want access to a strictly-private
field, I offered String: How could a Hasher<String> (outside String
itself) use String's private `hash' element?  (And before you say
"Give String a getHash() method," ponder what hashCode() does.)
