technically, this will (marginally) improve the mixing / randomness of
hash(::Irrational)
at the (marginal) cost of performance, since instead of3*objectid(x) -h
it becomes the standardhash(x::Any) = hash_finalizer(3h - objectid(x))
, but I think in practice this is more or less NFC.it just fixes the fact that
hash(::Real)
was not in fact generic over all<:Real
inputs as evidenced by the fact thathash(::Irrational)
was manually skipping that dispatch and re-implementing the fallback sinceBase.decompose
has noIrrational
method. this PR would tighten the signature and lethash(::Irrational)
hit the real fallback.
