Add a mechanism to specify the "type seed", which is the UInt value that we start with to compute the hash function. Currently, we use either hash(:TypeName) or hash(Type), depending on whether typearg=false (the default) or typearg=true.
One suggestion for how it would work:
The user can specify type_seed=e. If typearg=false (the default), then e is used as the type seed. If typearg=true, then e(t) is used as the type seed, where t is the type of the object being hashed.
