You say that 'a' and 'a ' aren't equal. Then are 1 and 1.0 not equal?
Honestly, it really depends. There are cases where 1 (as an integer)
and 1.0 (as a floating point number) shouldn't be considered equal.
Probably not many cases in "business logic" programming. But in some
other areas of computing, absolutely.
The string case is even more clear that there are contexts in which
they absolutely should not be equal, even in business logic.
