While making some changes in WiX 4 I noticed a lot of counter-patterns, like
Field.IsIdentical. One or two more classes have that as well, and it makes me
wonder why you wouldn't override Equals as is the pattern recommended in .NET.
Implementing IComparable<T> is another way that opens a bit more possibilities
depending on usage, which is why I implemented it on various OM classes higher
than Field.
Is there some specific reason for not following guidance? Any reason someone
couldn't fix this and make the class libraries more consistent with the .NET
BCL and many other libraries built atop it?
