According to mypy_primer, this change doesn't affect type check results on a corpus of open source code. ✅ |

Is this part actually safe? This will make Literal["foo"] and Literal[b"foo"] have same hash (I don't remember why, but we always store the literal bytes value as a string).

There's also Literal[0] vs Literal[False], both 0 and False hash to zero IIRC

It's fine for hashes to collide and doesn't affect correctness. You just don't want too many values to collide because then some of your constant time operations become linear.

Only correctness requirement is that values that compare equal have the same hash
