That is sooooo cool! I shudder to think how many times I implemented just
that by hand!!

Two questions/comments about the generated code:
1. #=
�� �� �� �� ...
�� �� �� �� self class = anObject class "should compare #species instead?"
�� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� ifFalse: [ ^ false ].
�� �� �� �� ...
Typically, I've seen #species instead of #class in the guard statement.
Should we change it to that?


2. #hash
�� �� �� �� ^ var1 hash bitXor: (var2 hash bitXor: var3 hash)
Is this implementation always safe? It's what I usually hand roll based on
what I've seen, but Andres Valloud wrote a whole (large) book on hashing, so
I've always wondered if I was missing something���
