I want to do this in the next major release (version 2.0) because it breaks 
backward compatibility. I have no schedule for this version yet.

This would be great to have. I've seen that a very common mistake is to modify 
a class to add a property and the developer forgets to add it to the 
equals/hashCode method.

I agree, it would be good for this to be the default. Unfortunately, I can't 
just do this, because it would break everybody's existing tests. That's why I 
want to wait until 2.0. I have some other neat features planned for this 
version as well; I hope to be able to start working on it soon.
