+Create a hashed snapshot test.
+
+## Arguments:
+
+1. The content of the snapshot. It is an expression whose result implements the `fmt::Display` trait.
+2. `name: <name>`: the identifier for the snapshot test (optional)
+3. `@""` to write the hash of the snapshot inline
+
+## Behaviour
+The content of the snapshot will be saved both in full and as a hash. The full snapshot will
+be saved with the name `<name>.full.snap` but will not be saved to the git repository. The hashed
+snapshot will be saved inline. If `<name>` is not specified, then a global counter is used to give an
+identifier to the snapshot.
+
+Running `cargo test` will check whether the old snapshot is identical to the
+current one. If they are equal, the test passes. Otherwise, the test fails.
+
+Use the command line `cargo insta` to approve or reject new snapshots.
+
+## Example
+```ignore
+// The full snapshot is saved under 1.full.snap and contains `10`
+snapshot_hash!(10, @"d3d9446802a44259755d38e6d163e820");
+// The full snapshot is saved under snap_name.full.snap and contains `hello world`
