SeqView violated rules for java.lang.Object.equals

[scabug]

In JavaDoc for Object.equals

It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals\(x\) should return true.

However, SeqView does not conform the rule:

Welcome to Scala 2.12.1 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.8.0_102).
Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.

scala> val v = Seq(0.0, 1.0).view.map{ d => d + math.random }
v: scala.collection.SeqView[Double,Seq[_]] = SeqViewM(...)

scala> v == v
res0: Boolean = false

I think the only way to make SeqView conform these rules is making SeqView not be a GenSeq or Seq any more, though SeqView can extends GenSeqLike and SeqLike.

Looks like the issue will be fixed in 2.13:

Fixed in 2.13.x for 2.13.0-M4. Views are compared by identity in the new collection library.
