    /**
     * Returns the hash code value for this <code>OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport</code> instance.

     * of all elements of information used in <code>equals</code> comparisons 
     * (ie: its name, its <i>open type</i>, and its default, min, max and legal values). 
     * <p>
     * This ensures that <code> t1.equals(t2) </code> implies that <code> t1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode() </code> 
     * for any two <code>OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport</code> instances <code>t1</code> and <code>t2</code>, 
     * as required by the general contract of the method
     * {@link Object#hashCode() Object.hashCode()}.
     * <p>
     * However, note that another instance of a class implementing the <code>OpenMBeanAttributeInfo</code> interface
     * may be equal to this <code>OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport</code> instance as defined by {@link #equals(java.lang.Object)}, 
     * but may have a different hash code if it is calculated differently.
     * <p>
     * As <code>OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport</code> instances are immutable, the hash code for this instance is calculated once,
     * on the first call to <code>hashCode</code>, and then the same value is returned for subsequent calls.
     *
