Comment(by SimonKing):

 There is another detail. Even in the old version of `TripleDict`, we have
 {{{
     It is implemented as a list of lists (hereafter called buckets). The
 bucket
     is chosen according to a very simple hash based on the object pointer.
     and each bucket is of the form [k1, k2, k3, value, k1, k2, k3, value,
 ...]
     on which a linear search is performed.
 }}}
 So, the choice of a bucket is based on the object pointer - but then it is
 not consequent to compare by "==".
