It certainly can, but...
I've been working on a similar PR for the java.util package. That package has
lots of performance-sensitive locations that could also use `Objects.equals`.
In that package, I ran into comments referring to an issue with using
Object.equals: [JDK-8015417](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8015417). So,
I might do some additional research before integrating this PR.
