Random question about normalized caching. We are using a custom cache key generator to do the typical 
__typename
+ 
id
thing. However, not every object in the JSON tree has these properties, and so in that case the default is used (path to the object, basically). Has anyone tried / would it be a bad idea to hash this default key and use it instead? It seems like collisions should be very rare?

The reason I ask is that this default cache key contains the query's params, which I think makes sense because different queries usually return different results. However, for us these cache keys can become very very long and the keys themselves take up a lot of space.
btw I'm more asking for advice about our custom cache key generator, not suggesting that this be the default behavior for the library or anything

It's a fair observation. I'm not aware anything like that has ever been tried but sounds like it could be worth it
