on hashes

This is probably more of a general Smalltalk question than it is a question
about Squeak -- but I can't think of a better place to ask it.

There's a note that says that when you define the method = then you should
define the method >hash

Why?  I'd like to understand the reasons.  I've looked through my Smalltalk
books but they dont' seem to give me any insight.

Thanks Squeakers
