Indeed. Furthermore, it seems quite silly that these would be different:
a != b
not (a == b)
To be fair, though, other languages have peculiarities with equation.
Consider this Java code:
String s1 = "a";
String s2 = "a";
String s3 = new String("a");
String s4 = new String("a");
s1 == s2; // true
s1.equals(s2); // true
s1 == s3; // false
s1.equals(s3); // true
s3 == s4; // false
s3.equals(s4); // true
Doesn't make it any less silly, though.
