* Add again the private _PyHASH_NAN constant.
* Add tests: Modules/_testcapi/hash.c and
  Lib/test/test_capi/test_hash.py.

+Functions
+^^^^^^^^^

+.. c:function:: int PyHash_Double(double value, Py_hash_t *result)
+
+   Hash a C double number.
+
+   * Set *\*result* to the hash and return ``1`` if *value* is finite or is
+     infinity.
+   * Set *\*result* to :data:`sys.hash_info.nan <sys.hash_info>` (``0``) and
+     return ``0`` if *value* is not-a-number (NaN).
+
+   *result* must not be ``NULL``.
+
+   .. note::
+      Only rely on the function return value to distinguish the "not-a-number"
+      case. *\*result* can be ``0`` if *value* is finite. For example,
+      ``PyHash_Double(0.0, &result)`` sets *\*result* to 0.
