Will typeid(a) is typeid(b) yield different results than typeid(a) == typeid(b)?

No. Indeed, opEquals on TypeInfo just calls is itself.

But opEquals also has extra comparison:

        auto ti = cast(const TypeInfo)o;
        return ti && this.toString() == ti.toString();

This makes me feel they are not the same.
