  - ### HashCodeBuilder

    public HashCodeBuilder()
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

    Uses two hard coded choices for the constants needed to build a `hashCode`.

  - ### HashCodeBuilder

    public HashCodeBuilder(int initialNonZeroOddNumber, int multiplierNonZeroOddNumber)
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

    Two randomly chosen, non-zero, odd numbers must be passed in. Ideally these should be different for each class, however this is not vital.

    Prime numbers are preferred, especially for the multiplier.

    Parameters:
      `initialNonZeroOddNumber` - a non-zero, odd number used as the initial value
      `multiplierNonZeroOddNumber` - a non-zero, odd number used as the multiplier
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if the number is zero or even

- ## Method Details

    public HashCodeBuilder appendSuper(int superHashCode)
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

    Adds the result of super.hashCode() to this builder.

    Parameters:
      `superHashCode` - the result of calling `super.hashCode()`
    Returns:
      this HashCodeBuilder, used to chain calls.
