Kotlin `object` does not seem to have a `hashCode`...

Kotlin object does not seem to have a hashCode oder equals implementation other than the default from Java’s Object. I don’t know if this would be breaking things, but wouldn’t something like this make sense? :

override fun hashCode(): Int {
        return javaClass.hashCode()
 }

 override fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean {
        if (javaClass != other?.javaClass) return false
        return true
 }

Use case would be something like an object (e.g. part of a sealed class) being used inside data classes, potentially deeply nested, and then expecting that equals / hashCode work by default for … well equality checks.
