Hi Andi,

Based on your response to my question on how to compare object equality
properly. While looking through the code, in zend_operators.c in the
is_identical_function, when comparing objects, it uses the same construct I
came up with...

result->value.lval = (Z_OBJ_HANDLE_P(op1) == Z_OBJ_HANDLE_P(op2));

Just an FYI, if comparing both object_handle and object_handlers are
required for checking true equality. A Z_OBJ_COMPARE_P macro sounds nice.
