Ruby Forum IronRuby > MutableString == operator

I just noticed that MutableString does not implement the == operator 
(and of
course != operator).



This could be confusing because CLR string does implement this operator 
to
be a value comparison, rather than the default reference comparison of
System.Object.



I imagine most people would expect MutableString to do the same.  What 
is
the consensus view on this?  Is there some reason I am not getting for 
not
introducing this operator?



I am now going to go through all the code I have written that uses
MutableStrings to make sure I am using Equals rather than ==.

This was an oversight ... but since Tomas is rewriting MutableString 
this week to support byte arrays and char arrays, let's hold off on 
these changes until later this week.
