Wait, Message is the one used internally by the system.  It doesn't
have #= and #hash because it didn't need it.

*MessageSend* is the one for external use, and it already defines #= and #hash.

But in Cuis, Squeak and Pharo Message inherits #= and #hash from Object, i.e. uses identity comparison.  This is, to say the least, annoying.  Any objections to implementing comparing in Message to match VisualWorks?
