Excuse me for a maybe stupid question...

Why is it necessary?

Calling self.hashCode() from a class inheriting from Object
should be done through inheritance without the patch.

Is there some tool complaining if both are not overridden
even if the result is correct (or is it not?), or have
have the rules changed since the old days, or am
I missing something?...
