I'm still worried about hash of
Glauco,
Be careful if you decide to use hash.
There is possibility of bugs due to that approach, (if hash(x) == hash(y) and x != y).
Even if the probability of bug is near 0, your computer will certainly recall you what is the murphy law.
If I were you, I would prefer another approach.

I think hash doesn't guarantee the unicity of the result. But, it should avoid the collisions...
foo = foo
hash(foo)
-740391237
hash(-740391237)
-740391237
I think it's like some kind md5sum...
I propose this solution:
