 Sage can't guarantee that {{{p == q}}} implies {{{hash(p) == hash(q)}}},
 but it is not unreasonable to strive to make this work in case {{{p,q}}}
 belong to the same ring or field.

 This ticket deals with Fields of Fractions. The proposed solution from
 this post appears to do the trick:
 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/TOp_5LCBBR4

 Example:
 {{{
 sage: R.<x> = ZZ['x']
 sage: F = R.fraction_field()
 sage: p = 1/(1-x)
 sage: q = (-1)/(x-1)
 sage: p == q
 True
 sage: hash(p) == hash(q)
 False
 }}}
