<para>
This method calculates an identifier for the objects added to an
<classname>SplObjectStorage</classname> object.
</para>
<para>
The implementation in <classname>SplObjectStorage</classname> returns
the same value as <function>spl_object_hash</function>.
</para>
<para>
The storage object will never contain more than one object with the same identifier.
As such, it can be used to implement a set (a collection of unique values)
where the quality of an object being unique is determined by the value
returned by this function being unique.
