> people already wrote substantial test suites dedicated to that sole purpose, and we should aim to be "mere consumers" of functions that pass _those_ tests. There are hash functions that pass those tests which are still bad in practice when used as tuple hash function. That's really unfortunate, but it's a fact that we need to live with. It means that we may need to do some adjustments to the hash functions.
