Would we? Is the contract `x == y => hash(x) == hash(y)` still required if
hash(y) is an error? What situation involving dicts could lead to a bug if
`(1, 2, 3) == [1, 2, 3]` but `hash((1, 2, 3))` is defined and `hash([1, 2,
3])` isn't?

The closest example I can think of is that you might think you can do `{(1,
2, 3): 4}[[1, 2, 3]]`, but once you get `TypeError: unhashable type:
'list'` it'd be easy to fix.
