Not sure which properties you prefer to be true in programming languages you use. Hash consistency is certainly nice, but if Clojure were changed such that (= float-val double-val) were always false, and no other changes were made, it would lead to this situation:
user=> (<= (float 1.5) (double 1.5)) true user=> (>= (float 1.5) (double 1.5)) true user=> (= (float 1.5) (double 1.5)) false That certainly flies in the face of what most people learned in math class.
