Not quite, there are some objects that compare equal without both of them being
hashable:
>>> frozenset([1,2]) == set([1,2])
True
>>> dct = { frozenset([1,2]): 1 }
>>> frozenset([1,2]) in dct
True
>>> set([1,2]) in dct
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unhashable type: 'set'
It would be strange if the last test would return False instead of raising an
error.
