I've reported it as an issue with `Hash#==` method initially.  The lack of `Set#rehash` has been pointed out by others and I agree that it should be implemented.

The documentation on `Hash#==` clearly describes different behaviour, therefore I've reported it as a bug.

Hi!

Sorry for lack of the accuracy in the bug title. I have some trouble with pinpointing the issue.

According to documentation, "two hashes are equal if they each contain the same number of keys and if each key-value pair is equal to (according to Object#==) the corresponding elements in the other hash." I was able to produce two hashes which satisfy this condition, however the method returns false. In other words, following happens:

~~~
e.class #=> Hash
r.class #=> Hash
e.size == r.size #=> true
e.each_pair.to_a == r.each_pair.to_a #=> true
e == r #=> false
~~~

That happens in Ruby 1.9.3, 2.3, 2.4 and probably in other versions as well. Pure Ruby, no gem could interfere.

Happy Easter ]:->
