[Python-Dev] cpython: Describe the default hash correctly, and mark a couple of CPython

Is documenting such implementation details really a good idea?
Apart from preventing further evolutions/improvements/fixes (like the
recent hash randomization), I don't see any benefit in exposing such
details.
FWIW, I clearly remember Josh Bloch warning against this type of
documentation in one of its presentations (and in his excellent
"Effective Java").

Cheers,
