im not suggesting that any interface be amended - im just saying instead of delegating to classes Object.equals(Object) wrap tests with extra tests if either implement CanEquals(Object). In the end whole idea is broken because you can never do the right thing and some hidden wrong action is just going to screw someone up. If people want proper equals/hashcoding they can design the class hierarchies properly and do the equals and hashcodes properly.
