That is a very narrow legalistic way of looking at things.  If you don't 
like the word "equality", substitute a more generic word, such as 
"sameness"  We continually have threads about when to use "==" and when 
to use "is".  Clearly, there is confusion about them.  Adding another 
way to test for sameness will just increase the confusion.
