Bug #9883: Different behaviour between `==` and hash key lookup regarding multibyte character fragment

----------------------------------------
This question is reported in stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23946127). When a multibyte character is split by `slice`, `==` ignores the split fragment of the character, while key lookup on hash does not:

    s1 = "���xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx".slice(1, 24)
    s2 = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

    s1 == s2          # => true
    {s2=>""}.key?(s1) # => false

This is inconsistent, and I believe either of the above two is a bug. If it is not a bug, but intended, then it is misleading, and I propose the feature should be changed.
