That could be one implementation of the Equalator interface. Another
trivial impelmetantion might do "return (a == b);" and be called
IdentityEqualator
The specific case I'm working on is using Metaphone (from codec). The
impelemtatnion of MetaphoneEqualator looks like this:
...
private Metaphone mEncoder = new Metaphone();
...
public boolean equals(Object a, Object b) {
try {
Object encoded0 = mEncoder.encode(a);
Object encoded1 = mEncoder.encode(b);
if (encoded0.equals(encoded1)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
} catch (EncoderException exception) {
return false;
}
}

There's this method on Object called "equals"... I suppose you could
write a single object called Equalator that does:
Public Boolean equals(object a, object b) {
Return a.equals(b);
}

I'm writing a few classes that currently implement Comparator, but I
really don't care about comparisons - I just want to use an object to
test equality, ergo Equalator. Does such an interface exist somewhere in
lang (I can't find anything similar).
