I agree that use equals is a better choice. If operator overloading is implemented, you may experience inconsistency (different instance of builtin boxed values would be unequal according to default semantics, while after overloaded == operator it becomes equal.)

Subject: Overriding the == operator, like in Java/Lua/Python/whatever.
I've been looking and looking and looking and I
couldn't find a way to override == to make 2 different instances
of MyPoint compare == if they have the same coordinates. (I
guess this also applies to String objects and stuff but I haven't
tested that)
So how do I do this?
(PS: yes, I know, Java has an .equals method, not overridable ==,
but it's basically the same thing)
