// Package deephash hashes a Go value recursively, in a predictable order,
// without looping. The hash is only valid within the lifetime of a program.
// Users should not store the hash on disk or send it over the network.
// The hash is sufficiently strong and unique such that
// Hash(&x) == Hash(&y) is an appropriate replacement for x == y.
//
// The definition of equality is identical to reflect.DeepEqual except:
//   - Floating-point values are compared based on the raw bits,
//     which means that NaNs (with the same bit pattern) are treated as equal.
//   - time.Time are compared based on whether they are the same instant in time
//     and also in the same zone offset. Monotonic measurements and zone names
//     are ignored as part of the hash.
//   - netip.Addr are compared based on a shallow comparison of the struct.
//

// There is much overlap between the theory of serialization and hashing.
// A hash (useful for determining equality) can be produced by printing a value
// and hashing the output. The format must:
//	* be deterministic such that the same value hashes to the same output, and
//	* be parsable such that the same value can be reproduced by the output.
//
// The logic below hashes a value by printing it to a hash.Hash.
// To be parsable, it assumes that we know the Go type of each value:
//	* scalar types (e.g., bool or int32) are directly printed as their
//	  underlying memory representation.
//	* list types (e.g., strings and slices) are prefixed by a
//	  fixed-width length field, followed by the contents of the list.
//	* slices, arrays, and structs print each element/field consecutively.
//	* interfaces print with a 1-byte prefix indicating whether it is nil.
//	  If non-nil, it is followed by a fixed-width field of the type index,
//	  followed by the format of the underlying value.
//	* pointers print with a 1-byte prefix indicating whether the pointer is
//	  1) nil, 2) previously seen, or 3) newly seen. Previously seen pointers are
//	  followed by a fixed-width field with the index of the previous pointer.
//	  Newly seen pointers are followed by the format of the underlying value.
//	* maps print with a 1-byte prefix indicating whether the map pointer is
//	  1) nil, 2) previously seen, or 3) newly seen. Previously seen pointers
//	  are followed by a fixed-width field of the index of the previous pointer.
//	  Newly seen maps are printed with a fixed-width length field, followed by
//	  a fixed-width field with the XOR of the hash of every map entry.
//	  With a sufficiently strong hash, this value is theoretically "parsable"
//	  by looking up the hash in a magical map that returns the set of entries
//	  for that given hash.
