There are long discussions about this, and not really worth going into. They
both have their place. Generally, the `getClass` versions are easier to get
right without violating the `equals` contract. `instanceof` can be used, to
allow comparisons with (trivial) subtypes, but then you must make `equals`
final. Anything fancier violates the equals contract.
