#15297 new defect

Elements from a Field of Fractions that compare equal should have equal hashes

Description

Sage can't guarantee that p == q implies hash(p) == hash(q), but it is not unreasonable to strive to make this work in case p,q belong to the same ring or field.

This ticket deals with Fields of Fractions. The proposed solution from this post appears to do the trick: ​https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/TOp_5LCBBR4

Example: 

sage: R.<x> = ZZ['x']
sage: F = R.fraction_field()
sage: p = 1/(1-x)
sage: q = (-1)/(x-1)
sage: p == q
True
sage: hash(p) == hash(q)
False
