Sebb commented on MATH-786:
---------------------------

If the Javadoc says that the user must not change the object, then the code can 
assume that the object is immutable.
No need for an extra flag; the hash can be calculated once regardless.

If the user does not obey the Javadoc, and bad things happen when the hashcode 
changes, that's their problem.

> Since "Pair" is supposed to be an immutable class, couldn't we cache the 
> "hashCode" value at construction? That would supposedly make it more 
> efficient when used in maps.
