[swift-evolution] Custom equality/hash for Sets

[Thorsten Seitz]

Needing a Set of identical reference objects, i.e. comparing with ===, has come up quite regularly in the projects I have worked on (as well as indexing by identity in a Dictionary). This might be mitigated in Swift due to a more prominent role of value types but I would still expect it to be useful.
