Without this change `txn GroupIndex` can inappropriately return `-1` despite all fields of `tx` are the same as all fields of `gtxns[x]`. Apparently, the reason is that either `tx` or `gtxns` can be overwritten at some point by the same content but stored in different memory location (`indexOf` uses `===` which compares objects *by reference*). I had this problem when providing liquidity twice in a row in Pact smart contract (https://github.com/pactfi/algorand-testbed/blob/master/constant_product.teal)

Oh, actually it doesn't work for contract-to-contract calls (or inner txs in general) because they don't have ids. Not sure if they should though |

We should definitely look based on tx id. However yes - we probably need more inspection into that. Thanks for the update! |

This change looks pretty safe, but I don't know if the root cause (change of memory locations) should be found and eliminated in addition or instead of this commit.
