New submission from Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

In the Hashable ABC, there is a peculiar code fragment:

                if "__hash__" in B.__dict__:
                    if B.__dict__["__hash__"]:
                        return True
                    break

When would the innermost if-statement ever be False?  Is there a reason 
to define __hash__ to be something that evaluates to False?
