I must be missing something: you do want to get some sort of a hash, right?
And you do want that hash to be stable over time, so you can get used to
which color corresponds to what, right?

Hashing a reference will not give you a stable result.
As for "entry point", I don't really what that would be but it doesn't
sound like it'd be something that results in a stable hash either.

Also it's not clear to me exactly which part of `type-of` you don't like.
