Hello @hextriclosan, picking this low-hanging fruit: equals/hashCode aren't worth keeping for the first version of this class. Keeping the initial API surface small reduces maintenance, and the feature can be added later once there's a clear use case without worrying about backward compatibility. As you noted, other iterators don't support it, so adding it here would be inconsistent and invite questions about why we don't implement it everywhere, which we shouldn't take on. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
