Detailed Description

Defines a contract for objects that can be converted into a raw byte representation suitable for hashing, serialization, or low‑level processing.

The interface is intentionally minimal: any type implementing IHashable<T> must provide a deterministic and stable ToBytes method. The returned byte sequence is used by SystemEx hashing algorithms and must remain consistent across platforms and runtime sessions.

Example:
A type implementing both IHashable<T> and a hash attribute:

[HashAlgorithm(typeof(Bernstein))]
public class Foo : IHashable<Foo>
{
    public FixedVector<byte> ToBytes()
    {
        // Convert internal fields into a deterministic byte array.
        return new FixedVector<byte>( ... );
    }
}

Template Parameters

T	The type that provides its own byte representation.
