This mixin provides methods of equality based on a single identity method which must return a list of accessors used as the identity keys.
It also provides a "shortcut" for creating the identity method based on given accessors and returns the Equitable module for inclusion.
include Equitable(:a, :b)
is equivalent to including a module containing:
def ==(other) self.a == other.a && self.b == other.b end def eql?(other) self.a.eql?(other.a) && self.b.eql?(other.b) end def hash() self.a.hash ^ self.b.hash end
