Objective C (which is almost C, but different enough), == is used to
compare if two objects are equal. And by equal, we mean "pointers to
the same address space".

As a result, classes like NSString override == and 'isEqual' to
actually do things like string comparisons. So you can use == on
string objects just fine :-)
