Ah, OK, then I think we're in fundamental agreement about the problem.However, I don't agree that the Emacs 27-and-earlier approach is tenable, as means that (and (equal a b) (gethash a ht) (not (gethash b ht))) can return t, and similarly unexpected and undesirable behavior elsewhere - even if there are no side effects on hash keys and no cycles in hash key values. For now it should suffice if Emacs handles the case where hash keys don't change and don't have cycles; we can worry about the fancier problems later (if ever).
