Refer example code below.

>> (make block! []) = make block! []
== true
>> (make object! []) = make object! [] 
== true
>> (make task! []) = make task! []
== true  ; this is probably bad
>> (make gob! []) = make gob! []
== false  ; is this correct?

Afaik gobs are supposed to be unique, so all equality between them should be the same as SAME?. Carl would have to say for sure though.

However, that equality between task! types is probably a serious bug - they should be unique too.
