Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"48937" 48937]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="48937"
 Tests: First pass at using `assertSame()` instead of `assertEquals()` in
 most of the unit tests.

 This ensures that not only the return values match the expected results,
 but also that their type is the same.

 Going forward, stricter type checking by using `assertSame()` should
 generally be preferred to `assertEquals()` where appropriate, to make the
 tests more reliable.

 Props johnbillion, jrf, SergeyBiryukov.
 See #38266.
