Oh it is possible to construct a hash from a mutable. What is
difficult is creating the same hash when the mutable mutates. Or
indeed working out what it means when a hash key mutates and you
access the dictionary.
Ignoring this gives the programmer a big problem hence the limitation.

I don't think you have a better solution.
