Should the hash code of null always be zero, in .NET

Question

Given that collections like System.Collections.Generic.HashSet<> accept null as a set member, one can ask what the hash code of null

Answer 1

So this could be avoided by using an Unknown enum value (although it seems a bit weird for a Season to be unknown). So something like this would negate this issue:

public enum Season
{
   Unknown = 0,
   Spring,
   Summer,
   Autumn,
   Winter
}

Season some_season = Season.Unknown;
int code = some_season.GetHashCode(); // 0
some_season = Season.Autumn;
code = some_season.GetHashCode(); // 3

Then you would have unique hash code values for each season.
