Hashing

If saving memory isn't a priority, there is always the Self way of
hashing. Dedicate some 12 to 16 bits in the header of each object
and fill it in from some counter or random number generator when
the object is created and never change it after that.

Of course, given Squeak's compact headers I don't think this is
the way to go here.
