Nice alternative!

Though it can be used with simple arrays only (containing text and numbers, not references).

I did the same "histogram" here with '$pseudoshuffle_with_hash'. And I'm getting different results every time, because 'srand(CONST)' doesn't influence hash. But outputs are similar. Kinda symmetric. I paste here two runs:
