Is there a reason not to provide an object id and hash value as other languages often do? I find myself defining an identity symbol on objects with a value from a simple global counter. It makes it easier to debug if I can just look at a log and see what objects and functions were active. Likewise a hash value would simplify a lot of comparisons and make it easier to debug. I especially find the ID useful when working with bound functions as they can be difficult to tell apart. I like to change toString() to provide the ID followed by the code (flattened to one line).
