Description

Edit: original title was: StringEntry should implement equals and hashcode

Because it implements Comparable.  Per Oracle,

It is strongly recommended, but not strictly required that (x.compareTo==0) == (x.equals). Generally speaking, any class that implements the Comparable interface and violates this condition should clearly indicate this fact. The recommended language is "Note: this class has a natural ordering that is inconsistent with equals."
