In my current code, I have an Equator (equalTo()) method, and a
HashEquator (extends Equator and adds a hash() method), but now that
I've gone and implemented stuff, it comes down to the fact that nothing
uses Equator directly, because so many things use hash codes etc, that
you're just shooting yourself in the foot later by not following a
similar contract to the Object.equals() method. Thus there will only be
one plug for hashcode/equals implementation (hopefully just clarifying
what you were thinking).
What I also was going to say is that you can use an EquatorMap and
ReferenceMap to decorate each other, but they're going to extend from
different classes, so that's no good.
So, are you talking about one Map to rule them all? Sounds convenient.
