Issue Description:

If you have two values of type Any or otherwise opaque type and you want to test whether they're equal, it's natural to try to write something like:

if let a = a as? Equatable, b = b as? Equatable {
  return a == b
}

Maybe someday that will work, but in the meantime dynamically casting to AnyHashable can get the desired effect. It'd be nice QoI to have a diagnostic telling people they can do this when they try similar things that don't.
