There's nothing obscure about directly testing the hash. That's about as far from obscure as it is possible to get: you are directly testing the presence of a feature by testing the feature.It's obscure because hash('') != 0 doesn't necessarily mean the hashes are randomized. A different hashing algorithm could be in effect.
Fair point, but I didn't actually suggest testing hash('') != 0, that was Nick's suggestion, which he's since withdrawn.
