Fellows,

I'd like to illutrate the fact that comparing strings using identity is, 
most of the time, a bad idea. However I'm searching a short example of 
code that yields 2 differents object for the same string content.

id('foo')
3082385472L
id('foo')
3082385472L

Anyone has that kind of code ?

JM
