Reformatting your list so I can check one by one :)

No equal? implementation, so should hashq() instead.

These have equal? implementations, and what's more, a bitvector can
equal? an array... I think we have another bug!

  ;; Project 2d array as 1d array (scm_tc7_array)
  (define x
    (make-shared-array #2b((#t #t #t)) (lambda (i) (list 0 i)) '(0 2)))
  ;; scm_tc7_bitvector
  (define y #*111)

  (equal? x y) ;; => #t
  (equal? (hash x #xffffffff) (hash y #xffffffff)) ;; => #f
            
Similarly for 1-d scm_tc7_array versus regular vectors, bytevectors,
etc.

Fixing this will not be straightforward...  I think basically 1d arrays
need some special hashing logic so that e.g. vectors and 1d arrays hash
to the same thing.

These are never exposed to Scheme, and never compared using equal?
AFAIU.  No need for special cases.

Basically I think the tc7 case should default to hashq, and include
special cases for the ones that have equal? implementations or which
have read syntax.

Sound right to you?
