Alias of #==
Returns true if object has the same length and content; as self; false otherwise:
Example
s = 'foo' s == 'foo' # => true s == 'food' # => false s == 'FOO' # => false
Returns false if the two strings’ encodings are not compatible:
Example
"\u{e4 f6 fc}".encode("ISO-8859-1") == ("\u{c4 d6 dc}") # => false
If object is not an instance of String but responds to to_str, then the two strings are compared using object.==.
