in reply to What is the best way to compare variables so that different types are non-equal?
eq is supposed to "ignore types" it's just comparing the stringified arguments
eq: Binary "eq" returns true if the left argument is stringwise equal to the right argument.
so two arguments mapped to the same string are "equal".
I think you want something like === in JS¹, IMHO you have to construct this on your own.
