No, `==` is for comparing the *contents* of the objects.  You need to
implement opEquals() for the objects being compared in order to define
how the contents will be compared.

If you want to compare *addresses*, use `is`:

	Object a = new Object(...);
	Object b = a;	// b is a reference to the same object as a

	assert(b is a);

In this case there is no need to implement anything else, since
comparing addresses is simple.
