Can't the instances of this metaclass be made sensible for use in
dicts simply with
    def __hash__(self):
        return hash(C)
for example?  (To ensure that if x == y then hash(x) == hash(y),
as desired.)  Or does this do weird things in a metaclass context?

(Ignoring issues arising from the brokenness of the __eq__:
    class foo(object):
        __metaclass__ = C
    foo() == 3               # true!
    hash(foo()) == hash(3)   # probably false
and like cases.)
