We were mostly curious whether the hash field of jl_datatype_t could be utilized to speed up type comparisons, as those showed up in our CPU profiles during package image loading (i.e. in jl_types_equal and jl_types_egal). After discussing this idea briefly in the public Julia slack (thread), @nathan and @topolarity suggested bringing this idea forward to discuss whether it's legal and worthwhile with a broader audience.

CC: @vtjnash, who perhaps knows best whether the idea makes sense.
