Hashes have to be stable. If you change the hash of None after it's
been inserted into a dictionary, you'll get all kinds of entertaining
problems.
>>> class X:
... def __init__(self): self.hash = 0
... def __hash__(self): return self.hash
...
>>> x = X()
>>> d = {x: "This is x"}
>>> x.hash = 1
>>> for key in d: print(key, key in d)
...
<__main__.X object at 0x7f2d07c6f1c0> False
