NAME

       Builtins::identical - Return whether two values are identical.

SYNOPSIS

       Bool identical( a x, a y )

ARGUMENTS

       x First value

       y Second value

DESCRIPTION

       Check  if  two  values  are identical. This is stronger than equality - this tests whether two values are
       stored at the same memory location. In other words, it tests whether modifying the contents  of  x  would
       also modify the contents of y

    a = (5,6);
    b = (3,a.snd);
    c = a;
    d = (5,6);
    test = identical(b,a); // false
    test2 = identical(b.snd,a.snd); //true
    test3 = identical(c,a); // true
    test4 = identical(d,a); // false

       Of course, equal(a,d) would be true
