I only wish I knew *why* this got changed in the first place. Both, 
#hash and #= have Marcus' initials on it - can someone perhaps ask him 
why that change was needed or desirable? I'm afraid there may be some 
non-obvious users of that change but since I can't track down exactly 
where this happened I really don't know where to even start looking.
