I see. should== is value equality, and should+equal is reference equality.

Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] should equal in RubySpecs

require 'mspec'
describe "equals" do
  it "compares objects not values" do

    a = "a"
    b = "a"
    c = a

    a.should equal(c)
    a.should_not equal(b)
    a.should == b

  end
end

I noticed this in core\thread\current_spec.rb.



  it "returns the current thread" do

    t = Thread.new { Thread.current }

    t.value.should equal(t)

    Thread.current.should_not equal(t.value)

  end



Is this any different than writing "t.value.should == t"? Is either of them the 
recommended way? Seems odd to support two ways of writing the exact same thing.



Thanks,
