Under that usage, is_deeply() needs to see both the posted datastructures as equal.

I dont understand. You want is_deeply() to gloss over the fact that your hand constructed example is different from what it returns? Why is this good? And please before you use the example that Schwern did in a post, think about somethign like this: 

my %expect_hash=(a=>1,b=>2);

my @expect=({%expect_hash},{%expect_hash});

#versus

my @copies=(\%expect_hash,\%expect_hash);

Is the extra char too much price to pay for is_deeply() doing what its name says it does? (this isn't intended as a snarky question, I really am curious.)
