Should every kernel class x provide support for (x new) printString and (x new) hash

Collection is an abstract class, so you should never say "Collection new".

The problems that you are discussing should be fixed, but I thought
someone should say this, too.

The answer to the question is "yes, all concrete subclasses of Object
should support #printString and #hash"
