ParcPlace-Digitalk VSE 3.1 (roughly 1999):

(0 to: 1) = (0 to: 5/3). "true"
(0 to: 1) hash = (0 to: 5/3) hash. "true"

So, ancient VSE and current VisualWorks are consistent, and agree on where
they want to be.  This is also the direction I want to take Squeak.
VA is also consistent, but #= doesn't match any other Smalltalk varient
that we've looked at.
Squeak, Pharo, Dolphin all currently have the same answer, but are not
consistent.

Interesting indeed.

thanks,
