But (-12 is -12) yielding False was being used to illustrate why Value 
and Object didn't mean the same thing.

Are they in fact the same, or is there something else that can be done

(However, I feel the internal representation of values shouldn't matter. 
Each type of value will have its own documented behaviour.)
