GetHashCode() is designed for use in a hashtable, that's the sole point of this function.

@skolima - the MSDN documentation is inconsistent with that. Mutable objects may implement GetHashCode(), and should return different values as the object's value changes. Hashtables must use immutable keys. Hence, you can use GetHashCode() for something other than a hashtable.
