+// NOTE: It is an explicit non-goal of this class to provide a generic hash
+// function for pointers. If you want to hash a pointers to a particular class,
+// please define the template specialization elsewhere (for example, in its
+// header file) and keep it specific to just pointers to that class. This is
+// because identity hashes are not desirable for all types that might show up
+// in containers as pointers.
