Subject: [ruby-core:79268] [Ruby trunk Bug#13146] Float::NANs in Hashes are confusing (more than usual).

Issue #13146 has been updated by Stefan Sch����ler.


Somehow, using `-Float::NAN` in a hash or array results in new objects being created:

```ruby
-Float::NAN.object_id
#=> -70362448918680
[-Float::NAN, -Float::NAN, -Float::NAN].map(&:object_id)
#=> [70362448604580, 70362448604520, 70362448604500]
```

As a result, these objects are no longer equal.

`Float::NAN` on the other hand behaves as expected:

```ruby
Float::NAN.object_id  
#=> 70362448918680
[Float::NAN, Float::NAN, Float::NAN].map(&:object_id)
#=> [70362448918680, 70362448918680, 70362448918680]
```

The same happens with `-Float:INFINITY`.

`test = {Float::NAN => 1, -Float::NAN => 2}
=> {NaN=>1, NaN=>2}

test.values_at(Float::NAN, -Float::NAN)
=> [1, nil]`

I don't know what the correct behaviour ought to be, but it seems inconsistent to create a hash with two elements but not be able to extract both values.
