Re: [RFC][VOTE] Objects as Keys

I don't know why you think it's "quite silly" to have both scalar and object keys, as that's exactly what would you need to implement with you want object keys - scalar keys are not going to go anywhere. So your assumption that this RFC somehow blocks objects as keys is still wrong. > Programmable hashes of objects should be external to the object anyway > because eventually someone wants to store the same object in a > different way in two different structures. That is the requirement that no language I can think of implements - Java, Python, Ruby, C# all have programmatic hash method, and none of them changes it for different structures. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
