The `steenzout.object` package provides an `Object` class with
pre-defined `__hash__`, `__eq__` and `__ne__` functions.

What's the difference to the `object` class?

Example:

```
>>> o1 = object()
>>> o2 = object()
>>>
>>> assert o1 == o2
>>> Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AssertionError
```

If you use `steenzout.object.Object`:

```
>>> from steenzout.object import Object
>>>
>>> o1 = Object()
>>> o2 = Object()
>>>
>>> assert o1 == o2
>>>
```

If you sub-class the `Object` class,
`==` and `!=` will still work as expected:

```
>>> class A(Object):
>>> pass
...
...

>>> class B(Object):
>>> pass
...
...

>>> a = A()
>>> b = B()

>>> a == b
>>> False

>>> a != b
>>> True
```
