Something like this.  I know I could very well hash latex 
member, but what if the user redefines toString() ?  So I would 
like to call toString(), but DMD compiler bitches:

```
Error: @safe function def.Def.toHash cannot call @system 
function def.Def.toString: def.Def.toString is declared here...
```

This works for me:

```d
   @safe nothrow override string toString() const
   {
      return latex;
   }

   override nothrow @safe size_t toHash()
   {
      auto s = toString();
      return hashOf(s);
   }
```

Changes made:

* Mark `toString` as `@safe` and `nothrow`.
* Use [`hashOf`][1] instead of `getHash`.
