[citation needed] I don't see why you think that. Maybe it'd be nicer
if we could use hash_loc_operands() to feed its input directly into
the MD5 checksum, but I think in this case it's perfectly fine to use
the hash instead, in order to avoid reimplementing a rather
substantial function that already exists.

Maybe we could make hash_loc_operands() a template that can be used as
part of either inchash or MD5?

In the case of loc_checksum(), we're tied to MD5 by the DWARF
standard. Otherwise, we could just rewrite it to use inchash
throughout.
