This fixes some theoretical bugs whereby we were using hashCode to try to get unique keys for objects, but really we wanted object identity. It also lays the groundwork for a new GlobalKey concept. I tried to keep the impact on the code minimal, which is why the "Key" constructor is actually a factory that returns a StringKey. The code has this class hierarchy: ``` KeyBase | Key--------------+---------------+ | | | StringKey ObjectKey UniqueKey ``` ...where the constructors are Key and Key.stringify (StringKey), Key.fromObjectIdentity (ObjectKey), and Key.unique (UniqueKey). We could instead of factory methods use regular constructors with the following hierarchy: ``` KeyBase | LocalKey---------+---------------+ | | | Key ObjectIdentityKey UniqueKey ``` ...with constructors Key, Key.stringify, ObjectIdentityKey, and UniqueKey, but I felt that that was maybe a more confusing hierarchy. I don't have a strong opinion on this.
