are CodeElements unique?

[Paul Sandoz]

Yes. All code items have identity, and their equals/hashCode is defined in terms of that identity i.e., same implementation as for Object.

A reflected method body or lambda body must have only one code model instance associated with it. (We have been fixing some a bugs to ensure this is guaranteed.)

Are the members of a CodeModel.elementList() unique?  Specifically, is it safe to use a CodeElement as the key value in a Map?

Thank you,
