Why __hash__() does not return an UUID4?

My guess is that the typical use of the value for __hash__() doesn't
need that level of guarantee of uniqueness, so requiring it would be
unnecessarily expensive.

Since the typical use of hash will be followed by a real equality test
if the hashes match, we don't need the level of a UUID
