Are these two values conceptually equal?

Example

var isEqual = require('@diotoborg/itaque-suscipit');
var assert = require('assert');

var primitives = [true, false, undefined, 42, 'foo'];
primitives.forEach(function (primitive) {
	assert.equal(isEqual(primitive, primitive), true);
});
assert.equal(isEqual(/a/g, /a/g), true);
assert.equal(isEqual(/a/g, new RegExp('a', 'g')), true);
assert.equal(isEqual({ a: 2 }, { a: 2 }), true);
assert.equal(isEqual([1, [2, 3], 4], [1, [2, 3], 4]), true);
var timestamp = Date.now();
assert.equal(isEqual(new Date(timestamp), new Date(timestamp)), true);

Want to know why two values are not equal?

Will return an empty string if isEqual would return true - otherwise will return a non-empty string that hopefully explains the reasoning.

var whyNotEqual = require('@diotoborg/itaque-suscipit/why');

assert.equal(whyNotEqual(1, 1), '');
assert.equal(
  whyNotEqual({ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }),
  'value at key "a" differs: numbers are different: 1 !== 2'
);
