// Hash returns the hash value of an arbitrary value.

// If opts is nil, then default options will be used. See HashOptions
// for the default values. The same *HashOptions value cannot be used
// concurrently. None of the values within a *HashOptions struct are
// safe to read/write while hashing is being done.
//
// The "format" is required and must be one of the format values defined
// by this library. You should probably just use "FormatV2". This allows
// generated hashes uses alternate logic to maintain compatibility with
// older versions.
//
// Notes on the value:
//
//   * Unexported fields on structs are ignored and do not affect the
//     hash value.
//
//   * Adding an exported field to a struct with the zero value will change
//     the hash value.
//
// For structs, the hashing can be controlled using tags. For example:
//
//    struct {
//        Name string
//        UUID string `hash:"ignore"`
//    }
//
// The available tag values are:
//
//   * "ignore" or "-" - The field will be ignored and not affect the hash code.
//
//   * "set" - The field will be treated as a set, where ordering doesn't
//             affect the hash code. This only works for slices.
//
//   * "string" - The field will be hashed as a string, only works when the
//                field implements fmt.Stringer
