|Thank you for the clarification.  Just so I'm clear, what's wrong with 
|compare_by_identity as it stands?

 * compare_by_identity modifies status of the receiving hashes.
 * the method name is not clear enough; it works as make_hash_compare_its_key_by_identity.
 * the most use-case is in Rails, for which purpose we already have it
   in ActiveSupport anyway.
