He means you're being unrealistically pedantic :) The number of calls to eq is already unpredictable, since (as Mark Shannon said) it depends among other things on the hashing algorithm and the size of the dict.
Well, I was not arguing that the optimization would be an important compatibility break. Obviously, an eq which would break this optimization would be particularly dubious (and probably wrong for other reasons) :-)

Antoine.
