This program always prints "false". By and large, it is odd that one
would attempt comparison between unrelated classes. I was thinking, is
this ever legitimate, or we should just disallow it statically
whenever possible?
Has this brought problems to anyone ever?
I'm not sure about this particular aspect, but in Java the related
method equals() has been a perennial source of issues. Just google for
java equals.
