Overriding the == operator, like in Java/Lua/Python/whatever.

[Andrea Giammarchi]

yep, I'm afraid this is described as such in the old post (and in specs)
too:

> Return true if x and y refer to the same object. Otherwise, return false

in your Point cases you can add `.equals(otherPoint)` in Point prototype
otherwise use an utility that does similar thing Java does.
