A fork from Burtsev Alexey's original .NET object deep-copying extension, I inserted a hashing algorithm into the program, and stripped the deep-copying components of it to improve performance.
With .NET's GetHashCode(), the value is essentially based off of the memory address of the object, which is variable for every program run, and won't have a consistent hash value.
Using this extension, all objects will generate a consistently-hashed ulong value based off of all of its properties.
The hash also takes into account the object's Type, so this way, a double '34.5' and a String "34.5" will generate different hash codes.
