Sure: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/draft/record-contract/ This fences out user assumptions about hashCode. While I was at it I also did equals and toString. The toString language is an example of applying similar limitations. Probably it goes into too much detail; I added it for the sake of discussion. BTW, when designing the toString methods for MethodHandle and MethodType we were ruthless about removing package prefixes, and I’m glad we did it that way. Package prefixes are noisy in toString output. I’m glad to see it going that way with Record::toString also. — John
