[New-bugs-announce] [issue8188] Unified hash for numeric types.

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

Here's a patch that makes hash(x) == hash(y) for any numeric types (int, float, complex, Decimal, Fraction, bool) when x and y are numerically equal.

This is a prerequisite for making all numeric types accurately comparable with each other.
