What if I want > objects to hash by value, not by identity? Don’t force the identity model. I’m not suggesting we force anything. The tone of the conversation earlier referred to using spl_object_hash as a default. If we don’t do this, that’s totally fine. We don’t have an “__equals” equivalent to Java’s equals(). While I understand the intent of this RFC is not to address that, perhaps it should be considered in the future. > -- > Andrea Faulds > http://ajf.me/ > > > >
