We in the UPB dlang group have been having discussions about
the hashing functions of associative arrays. In particular, we
were wondering why is the AA implementation in druntime is not
using the hash function implemented in
druntime/src/core/internal/hash.hashOf for classes that don't
define toHash().
For us, that seems to be a very good default hashing function.
Further, I haven't found any instructions on changing the default
hash-digest for `hashOf`. Is this in conflict with `hashOf` being
`pure`? Could the interface to builtin AA's be extended to
support changing the default hash algorithm (which in turn
`hashOf` will use) upon AA instantiation?
