/** @brief Hash `str` to `hash` for use in a switch case
*
* A string needs to be hashed for it to be used
* inside of a switch statement. We want to use a switch
* statement instead of an if-else chain for it's
* simplicity and lower amount of low-level operations.
*
* @param str The string to hash
*
* @returns hash The hashed version of `str`
