+-- | The `Hashable` type class represents types with decidable
+-- | equality and a seeded hash function whose result can approximate
+-- | equality for use in hash-based algorithms and data structures.
+-- |
+-- | Instances of `Hashable` must satisfy the following law:
+-- |
+-- | ```PureScript
+-- | (a == b) `implies` (hashWithSalt s a == hashWithSalt s b)
+-- | ```
+-- |
+-- | That is, unequal hash values are a safe approximation of
+-- | inequality. In other words, two objects whose hash values differ,
+-- | are never equal. The reverse is not necessarily true.
+-- |
+-- | Hash values produced by `hashWithSalt` are not cryptographically
+-- | secure, must not be relied upon to be stable across multiple
+-- | executions of a program, and should not be stored externally.
