    If make `(1, 2, 3) == [1, 2, 3]` we would need to make `hash((1, 2, 3))
    == hash([1, 2, 3])`.


Would we? Is the contract `x == y => hash(x) == hash(y)` still required if hash(y) is an error? What situation involving dicts could lead to a bug if `(1, 2, 3) == [1, 2, 3]` but `hash((1, 2, 3))` is defined and `hash([1, 2, 3])` isn't?

The closest example I can think of is that you might think you can do `{(1, 2, 3): 4}[[1, 2, 3]]`, but once you get `TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'` it'd be easy to fix.

You are probably right.

Here is other example: if make all sequences comparable by content, we would need to make `('a', 'b', 'c') == 'abc'` and `hash(('a', 'b', 'c')) == hash('abc')`. It may be deifficult to get the latter taking into account hash randomization.
