What is the ‘open’ keyword in Swift?

by

The ObjectiveC.swift file from the standard library contains the following few lines of code around line 228:

extension NSObject : Equatable, Hashable {
  /// ...
  open var hashValue: Int {
    return hash
  }
}

What does open var mean in this context, or what is the open keyword in general?
