is_deeply() never sees the difference! Even though they're produced by
different code they both result in exactly the same structure which is all
is_deeply() ever sees. It can't see the original syntax.
Except that, umm, I wrote it backwards.
is_deeply( eval "{ foo => 42, bar => 23 }",
{ "foo", 42, "bar", 23 } );
That's what I meant.
Its much the same way that this is expected to pass:
is( 1 + 1, 2 );
