=begin
with Flonum,
fixed id for 0.0
(0.0).object_id #=> -9223372036854775806
(0.0).object_id #=> -9223372036854775806

non-fixed id for -0.0
(-0.0).object_id #=> 22387560
(-0.0).object_id #=> 22381340

i think that -0.0 should have fixed object_id too
=end

i think that -0.0 should have fixed object_id too

for me it doesnt make much sense that some Floats have fixed object_ids and some Floats does have not, so i think, when fixed ids are possible than they should be for much of them as possible

It seems not practical problem.
Please reopen this ticket if you find real problem.

(for example, there are too many -0.0 objects in your program and it beats performance)
