For the majority of use cases they are *not* in fact fundamentally  
different.

You're correct, they are *actually* fundamentally different at a  
conceptual/theoretical level, but this difference is irrelevant in the  
majority of cases.

It is true that we need to be able to define/model this difference (which  
is why we have both opCmp and opEquals) but it is *not* true that every  
user, for every object, needs to be aware of and cope with this difference.
