DocumentationProvider.Equals(Object) Method

Definition

DocumentationProviders are compared when determining whether an AssemblySymbol can be reused. Hence, if multiple instances can represent the same documentation, it is imperative that Equals (and GetHashCode) be overridden to capture this fact. Otherwise, it is possible to end up with multiple AssemblySymbols for the same assembly, which plays havoc with the type hierarchy.
