I've also sometimes wondered if it's worth hashing up to the first,
say 20, bytes only, to speed it up. That would make it more
reasonable for hashing long string literals; something I intend to get
us to start doing again. I don't believe there is much gain in
assuming that more than the first 20 bytes of many character strings /
identifiers are identical.
