It's always the same problem than deep copy: this is not a deep 
comparison. Only the values of the keys are compared, and the two arrays 
associated with "cc" are different arrays, with the same values, but 
different.

In other words, Equals() does not compare the inner values with Equals().

But it could, but that needs more work, and I will do it if it's not 
complex.
