Bug #12003: Unexpected behavior of === with Range of Date objects
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12003

----------------------------------------
In Ruby 2.2, a Range of Date objects will return true when matched with === for a new Date that falls in the range:

~~~
puts ENV['RUBY_VERSION']
# => '2.2.3'
require 'date'
date_range = Date.new(1980, 1, 1)..Date.new(1990, 1, 10)
# => #<Date: 1980-01-01 ((2444240j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>..#<Date: 1990-01-10 ((2447902j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
puts date_range.cover? Date.new(1989, 10, 13)
# => true
puts date_range === Date.new(1989, 10, 13)
# => true
~~~

In Ruby 2.3.0, === returns false for the same date and date range:

~~~
puts ENV['RUBY_VERSION']
# => '2.3.0'
require 'date'
date_range = Date.new(1980, 1, 1)..Date.new(1990, 1, 10)
# => #<Date: 1980-01-01 ((2444240j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>..#<Date: 1990-01-10 ((2447902j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
puts date_range.cover? Date.new(1989, 10, 13)
# => true
puts date_range === Date.new(1989, 10, 13)
# => false
~~~

In both Ruby 2.2.3 and Ruby 2.3.0, date comparisons with === return true, i.e, Date.new(1980, 1, 1) === Date.new(1980, 1, 1) # => true. 

I believe this may be a regression in the === implementation of Range.
