[swift-users] Subtract a set of a subclass?

[Zhao Xin]

You are correct. Whether override `hashValue` is basing on the
implementation of `==`. You can't do what you want. You should follow the
required rules. However, if you don't want to get the unexpected result,
you can always use a `convenience init(_ instance:Self)` in `extension` to
convert subclass to  superclass as I did in previous replies.
