Admittedly, this may require some adaptation for the PEP393 unicode memory

Is this condition required and implemented at the moment?
If o1 == o2, then hash(o1) == hash(o2) is an unstated requirement
implied by "They [hash values] are used to quickly compare dictionary
keys during a dictionary lookup." since hash(o1) != hash(o2) is taken to
mean o1 != o2 (whereas hash(o1) == hash(o2) is taken to mean o1 == o2 is
possible but must be checked). Hashing should be a coarsening of == as
an equivalence relationship.
