Subject: Re: OpenStruct problem

Hashes don't behave well as keys either so it's no surprise openstructs
(which are based on them) don't. Nested hashes are usually sufficient,
but I agree the hashing of hashes and openstructs is pretty strange
strange. If you really need to use openstructs as keys you could use:

class OpenStruct
  def hash
    @table.to_a.hash
  end
end

This is, however, very inefficient and depends on all variables stored
in the openstruct also being good keys. As a general rule, a key should
be a simple value. Try to avoid using complex structures as keys.
