Well it seems that data->tag is also used to determine ``:==''  equality
so basically (by maybe further processing it) one can get a descent hash
value out of it - but that clearly Matz's call - that is I don't know if it
would
make a bad hash value (lots of collisions)?

Anyway your code below looks fine to me.
