Comparison operators yield a boolean result. All comparison operators apply
to strings and numeric types. The operators "==" and "!=" also apply to
boolean values and to pointer types (including the value "nil"). Finally,
"==" and "!=" can also be used to compare interface types against "nil".

Strings are compared byte-wise (lexically).
Interfaces can be tested against "nil" (§Interface types).
Pointers are equal if they point to the same value.
Interfaces are equal if both their dynamic types and values are equal.
For a value "v" of interface type, "v == nil" is true only if the predeclared
constant "nil" is assigned explicitly to "v" (§Assignments), or "v" has not
been modified since creation (§Program initialization and execution).
