<p>Hi Marcel,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am sending pictures and sounds to a server that only accepts mutually different items. However, if multiple of these items are generated using the same code, e.g. Morph new imageForm, there is no chance to identify this duplicate at the moment.</p>

Hi Christoph.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hmmm... maybe it is not straightforward to implement? Especially whether #class (or #species) should match or not. Reminds me of SequenceableCollection >> #= and #hasEqualElements:. I keep on using #hasEqualElements: in tests because I don't care about
Array-vs-OrderedCollection in several places.</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And Form has also a non-trivial hierarchy of variations:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><img id="ece3310c-1dab-46e4-a972-5b1289fa528d" width="345" height="252" src="cid:3ca1fe29-c01e-4821-91ee-d30a841a9712"><!-- </img> --><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For example, would you ignore the #depth if it is black and white anyway?</div>
<div>Or would you break uses of Dictionaries that are virtually IdentityDictionaries because of their current keys and the missing #=?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It can be hard. Maybe it needs to be maintined afterwards. So, YAGNI? :-)</div>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>for a current project, I need to compare form or sound objects with each other, but I found out that they do not override #=, so for example, we get:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px;border: none;padding: 0px;min-width: 500px">
<p><span>(ColorForm extent: 1 @ 1) = (ColorForm extent: 1 @ 1) --> false</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Wasn't this implemented</span></p>
<p><span>a) simply because it looked like YAGNI?</span></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols;font-size: 16px">
b) for design reasons? For example, should (Form extent: 1 @ 1) be equal to (ColorForm extent: 1 @ 1) or not?</p>
c) for performance reasons? I don't know if there any guidelines for implement #= (except that you need to implement #hash as well), but is an equality comparison generally allowed to be an expensive operation if two objects are equal? If two large forms have
a different resolution or a different bitmap hash, comparison will be fast, but if they are equal, we will need to compare every single bit. Would this be okay or a no-go?
<p></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span>If implementing #= as proposed is not possible, how would you think about implementing it as a keyword message on Form, e.g. #sameAs:?</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>The same questions apply to the AbstractSound hierarchy, too, where I'm not sure whether two sounds being played for different duration should equal or not.</span></p>
