RL_abstract_type.hashCode()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think that this method should be added to the code base. The default 
implementation of 
hashCode() returns a different value for different instantiations of objects. I 
think that 
RL_abstract_type should return a value based on its contents.

    int C = Math.pow(2,some_number_of_bits_to_shift_hashCodes);
    return Arrays.hashCode(intArray)+C*Arrays.hashCode(doubleArray)+C*C*Arrays.hashCode(charArray);
  }
  ...
