Classification: Reproducible:
 
Summary:
Swift compiler emits "error: type 'Hashable' does not conform to protocol 'Equatable'" error messages despite Hashable being explicitly defined as conforming to Equatable.

Steps to Reproduce:
Compile the following code:

class Foo<T:Hashable> { }
protocol Bar: Hashable { }
var a:Foo<Bar>?
var b:Foo<Hashable>?


Expected Results:
The code compiles without error

Actual Results:
The code does not compile, with the following error:

error: type 'Hashable' does not conform to protocol 'Equatable'
var b:Foo<Hashable>?
^
    Swift.Equatable:2:8: note: '==' requirement refers to 'Self' type
func ==(lhs: Self, rhs: Self) -> Bool
^
    Swift.Hashable:1:10: note: type 'Hashable' does not conform to inherited protocol 'Equatable.Protocol'
protocol Hashable : Equatable


Version:
Xcode Version 6.0 (6A215l)
OSX Version 10.9.3 (13D65)


Notes:
I first noticed this bug when declaring a variable of the Dictionary type:

var d: Dictionary<Hashable, String>  // does not compile
