Is duplicate of Ruby master - Feature #7797: Hash should be renamed to StrictHash and a new Hash should be created to behave like AS HashWithIndifferentAccessRejectedmatz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)02/07/2013Actions

no it should not because Symbol and String are two different Classes,
if you want that are the same use ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess

others like
Feature #7792 "Make symbols and strings the same thing"
are rejected
