06:13 PM Bug #21921: Hash inconsistent ==, >=, <= behavior
- By the way, I noticed the following behavior, which feels like it might not satisfy the specification:

h1["one"] = true
h2 = { "one" => true }

03:02 PM Bug #21921: Hash inconsistent ==, >=, <= behavior

However, I don't think the behavior is consistent with the spec as written:
The spec merely says that keys are c... -

- Hash seems to have very inconsistent behavior for `==`, `>=`, and `<=`.
Given that below h1 == h2 is `false` and that they have the same number of keys, I would expect `<=` and `>=` to also be `false`.
