This feature would violate the invariant of hash keys being unique. You may reject this feature request. Thanks. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7068: ability to deactivate Hash#compare_by_identity() https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7068#change-45019 * Author: Suraj Kurapati * Status: Feedback * Priority: Low * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto * Category: * Target version: next minor ---------------------------------------- Hello, I am using ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-linux]. There is no way to deactivate a Hash's compare by identity behavior: h = Hash.new h.compare_by_identity h.compare_by_identity? #=> true h.compare_by_identity h.compare_by_identity? #=> still true I want the ability to deactivate that behavior afterwards, like this: h.compare_by_identity = false Thanks for your consideration. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
