         * It is impossible to implement hashCode in a way that is honors the general equals()/hashCode() contract:
         *
         * 0) If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
         * 1) AnySymbol.equals() returns true when the other Object passed to it is of type Symbol.
         * 2) Assume there is an instance of Symbol s1, such that s1.hashCode() returns h1
         * 3) Assume there is an instance of Symbol s2, such that s2.hashCode() returns h2, where h1 != h2
         * 4) Assume there is an instance of AnySymbol, a1
         * 5) By 1, a1.equals(s1) returns true
         * 6) By 1, a1.equals(s1) returns true
         * 7) By 0, 2, a1.hashCode() must return h1
         * 8) By 0, 3, a2.hashCode() must return h2
         * 9) We have arrived at a contradiction -> AnySymbol cannot implement hashCode() in a way that honors the general equals/hashCode contract.
         *
         * In general, overriding hashCode() is unlikely to be useful. Because hashCode() can't be made to work in a way that's consistent with Symbol's hashCode() method, you
         * can't put AnySymbol instances in e.g. a HashSet and do a meaningful comparison to a HashSet of Symbol instances if the implementation of HashSet.equals() relies on the
         * general equals()/hashCode() contract holding.
         *
         * If you find a use case for putting AnySymbol in a hash table, feel free to
         * implement this.
