It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and
only if y.equals(x) returns true.
It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type Any if x.equals(y) returns true and
y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation.
Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that
objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int.
(o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).
Attributes
that
the object to compare against this object for equality.
Returns:
true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.
The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.
Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet
not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0.
However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have
identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure
to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.
there are multiple ways that this procedure could be resolved in some languages. This will be pruned later by
comparing this to actual methods in the CPG using postVisitImport.
