Two things I didn't make clear originally:
I'm using Python3.
My objects (of type Wierd) obey the premise of comparing equal also
meaning hashing equal (with other objects of type Wierd).
Perhaps my question could be narrowed down to:
Should the docs actually say that "objects of the same *type* that
compare equal must hash equal", or is there an underlying reason that
objects of *different types* that happen to compare equal *must not*
have different hashes?
In other words, is the fact that everything tried so far in Python3 to
break my toy code has failed to do so just an implementation detail of
Python3?
