`frozenset` and `set` make a counterexample:
>>> frozenset({1}) == {1}
True

It does look like that would violate a basic property of `==` -- if
two values compare equal, they should be equally usable as dict keys.
I can't think of any counterexamples.

If make `(1, 2, 3) == [1, 2, 3]` we would need to make
`hash((1, 2, 3))
== hash([1, 2, 3])`.
Would we? Is the contract `x == y => hash(x) == hash(y)` still
required if hash(y) is an error? What situation involving dicts
could lead to a bug if `(1, 2, 3) == [1, 2, 3]` but `hash((1, 2,
3))` is defined and `hash([1, 2, 3])` isn't?
The closest example I can think of is that you might think you can
do `{(1, 2, 3): 4}[[1, 2, 3]]`, but once you get `TypeError:
unhashable type: 'list'` it'd be easy to fix.
