+- Issue #2235: numbers.Number now blocks inheritance of the default id()
+ based hash because that hash mechanism is not correct for numeric types.
+ All concrete numeric types that inherit from Number (rather than just
+ registering with it) must explicitly provide a hash implementation in
+ order for their instances to be hashable.

pathological input because of quadratic or exponential behaviour of a
regular expression.
