>> Improve the speed of Enum.hashCode by caching the identity hashcode on first use. I've seen an application where Enum.hashCode is a hot path, and this is fairly simple speedup. The memory overhead is low; in enums with no extra fields there is already a 4-byte space due to alignment so this new field can slot in 'for free'. In other cases, the singleton nature of enum values means that the number of total instances is typically very low, so a small per-instance overhead is not a concern.

Thanks for moving the explanation to the method.  :)
