In general users would expect the hash of &T is the same as the hash of T. This is the case in ahash unless the "specialize" feature is used. This change is a stop gap to make sure that the hash of the specialized types is the same whether reference is used or not. Note that this change still doesn't address doubly referenced types like &&u64. But hopefully it already covers most cases.

I am aware of this limitation, and am planning to resolve it in a more permanent way by having the hasher rather then the method typed to the item being hashed. This is obviously a API breaking change, so it will need to be a major release. |

This is fine as a temporary measure, but it should probably also cover &&str and &String. |
