Comment(by danieljames):

 (In [60805]) Remove optimization which causes 0.5 to hash to 0. Refs
 #4038.

 I have an internal requirement the 0 hashes to 0, a better solution
 might be to remove that, put the optimization back and hash 0 to another
 value. Or alternatively, use the main combine function instead.
