comment: 
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
 body: Equality---At the <tt>Object</tt> level, <tt>==</tt> returns <tt>true</tt> only if obj and other are the same object. Typically, this method is overridden in descendent classes to provide class-specific meaning.
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
 body: "Unlike <tt>==</tt>, the <tt>equal?</tt> method should never be overridden by subclasses: it is used to determine object identity (that is, <tt>a.equal?(b)</tt> iff <tt>a</tt> is the same object as <tt>b</tt>)."
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
 body: "The <tt>eql?</tt> method returns <tt>true</tt> if obj and anObject have the same value. Used by <tt>Hash</tt> to test members for equality. For objects of class <tt>Object</tt>, <tt>eql?</tt> is synonymous with <tt>==</tt>. Subclasses normally continue this tradition, but there are exceptions. <tt>Numeric</tt> types, for example, perform type conversion across <tt>==</tt>, but not across <tt>eql?</tt>, so:"
