The prefix is sufficient. Any hash matching /0e[0-9].*/ works.

As far as I can see the prefix is not sufficient, a single non-digit character in the tail fails the conversion (and the equality check): http://3v4l.org/ctASF (vs http://3v4l.org/5FvJu, exact same strings but for the last character replaced by a digit)
