Re: [Asunit-users] Verbose assertEquals

The difference between == and === can be hard to infer with 
ActionScript. The following test output might be helpful to some who are 
still wondering what's up with equals-equals and equals-equals-equals:

Assert Same (same value, same identity):
true: (1 === 1) for Number
true: (true === true) for Boolean
true: (1 === 1) for String
true: (foo,bar === foo,bar) for Array
true: ([object Object] === [object Object]) for Object
----------
Assert Same (same value, different identity):
true: (1 === 1) for Number
true: (true === true) for Boolean
true: (1 === 1) for String
false: (foo,bar === foo,bar) for Array
false: ([object Object] === [object Object]) for Object
----------
Assert Same (same value, different type):
false: (1 === 1) for Number vs String
false: (true === 1) for Boolean vs Number
false: (1 === true) for String vs Boolean
false: (0 === 0) for Number vs String
false: (false === 0) for Boolean vs Number
false: (0 === false) for String vs Boolean
----------
Assert Equals (same value, same identity):
true: (1 == 1) for Number
true: (true == true) for Boolean
true: (1 == 1) for String
true: (foo,bar == foo,bar) for Array
true: ([object Object] == [object Object]) for Object
----------
Assert Equals (same value, different identity):
true: (1 == 1) for Number
true: (true == true) for Boolean
true: (1 == 1) for String
false: (foo,bar == foo,bar) for Array
false: ([object Object] === [object Object]) for Object
----------
Assert Equals (same value, different type):
true: (1 == 1) for Number vs String
true: (true == 1) for Boolean vs Number
true: (1 == true) for String vs Boolean
true: (0 == 0) for Number vs String
true: (false == 0) for Boolean vs Number
true: (0 == false) for String vs Boolean
----------
Assert Same (different identity, same value, stringified):
true: (foo,bar === foo,bar) for Array.toString()
true: ([object Object] === [object Object]) for Object.toString()
----------
Assert Equals (different identity, same value, stringified):
true: (foo,bar == foo,bar) for Array.toString()
true: ([object Object] == [object Object]) for Object.toString()
