Research direction

Start by surveying the OpenAPI object model types, beginning with OpenApiSchema, and determine which models are in scope. Define the expected equality and hashing behavior before implementation; done means the intended object models support the requested comparisons with coverage for the behavior.

Description

help wanted

I want to be able to compare two different OpenApiSchema instances for equality. I think it would make sense to implement equality on all object model types so that they implement IEquatable<T> and override object.Equals and GetHashCode methods.
