equal
public final boolean equal(java.lang.Object a,
java.lang.Object b)
Returns true if the given objects are considered equal.
This function must obey an equivalence relation:
equal(a, a) is always true, equal(a, b) implies equal(b, a),
and (equal(a, b) && equal(b, c) implies equal(a, c).
Note that the second argument need not be known to have
the same declared type as the first.
