They are not resolved: the hash is only used for printing.

Comparing domains is part of problem of comparing functions. Current
comparison (in Mapping) does not compare domains -- using EQ means
that if current comparison gives you true, then domains are equal,
but you may have equal code and equal domains and comparison
still may give you false.
