There is no reason to compare the shape, it is a constant in each of
these types.  (So I am not sure what your point is.)

This means you should not override hashValue in this particular way.
If two values are equal, their hash values should be equal.  As long
as your override implementation guarantees this, you can override
hashValue.

You should also understand that the ==(Apple, Apple) and ==(Banana,
Banana) are not overrides for ==(Fruit, Fruit), and they would not be
called through dynamic dispatch when you have, for example, two apples
typed as fruits.
