There's a vulnerability in that definition:
>>> a=hashablelist((1,[],3))
>>> a
[1, [], 3]
>>> {a:1}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#255>", line 1, in <module>
{a:1}
File "<pyshell#249>", line 3, in __hash__
return hash(tuple(self))
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'
Of course, if you monkey-patch list itself to have this functionality,
or always use hashablelist instead of list, then it will work. But
it's still vulnerable.
