If we do have deep value equality checks, then "default" == and eq
are probably:

	sub &infix:<==> ( $x, $y ) {
		+$x === +$y;
	}

	sub &infix:<eq> ( $x, $y ) {
		~$x === ~$y;
	}

So that the compare-as-sometype behavior is retained from perl 5
without introducing new complexity to the objects being compared as
strings/numbers.
