Hi Robert,
The prefixes are indeed chosen randomly. I do believe the original intent was, as you suspect, to avoid collisions of data being hashed for different types. For example, if a String happened to have the same text as a Symbol, this allows it to hash to a different value. I don't remember why exactly I chose 8 bytes to do this instead of 1. Eight seems like overkill right now. That's what I remember.
