Thanks a lot for the clarification, I get it now (I think). > 2. _HashedSeq is only used as a key in a dictionary. When you look up a key > in dictionary, it compares hashes first. __eq__ is only called when hashes > match. I was looking at the docs [1] and [2] and didn't come across this. For me, this explanation of how __hash__ and __eq__ are used in the LRU cache would have been helpful to read in [1], but of course there is a tradeoff in how long to make docstrings. If it is already explained somewhere else in the docs, linking to that place from [1] could be useful.
