> why is it desirable to have deliberate hash collisions between views with different shapes? Since we're now restricting everything to bytes, the multi-dimensional case is probably not useful at all. As I said above, I would leave it in because it actually saves one check for ndim and as Nick said, the definition is simpler. Now the user only has to remember that hashing works for 'B', 'b' and 'c'.

Since we're now restricting everything to bytes, the multi-dimensional case
is probably not useful at all. As I said above, I would leave it in because
it actually saves one check for ndim and as Nick said, the definition is
simpler. Now the user only has to remember that hashing works for 'B', 'b'
and 'c'.
