Only if it has changed, then, right? I suspect that would work, but it will break compatibility in some cases (think of a mutable object that hasn't defined equality - so it defaults to identity). It's also introducing a complication in the API which people didn't have to think of before. The fact that you're doing all this in order to eschew global variables for global resources doesn't warm me much to the idea. Unless other core developers are enthusiastic I'm not willing to integrate such a change.
