LegacyTripleEquals

trait LegacyTripleEquals extends EqualityConstraints

Provides === and !== operators that return Boolean, delegate the equality determination to an Equality type class, and require no relationship between the types of the two values compared.

Recommended Usage: Trait LegacyTripleEquals is useful (in test, not production, code) when you need determine equality for a type of object differently than its equals method: either you can't change the equals method, or the equals method is sensible generally, but you are in a special situation where you need something else. If you also want a compile-time type check, however, you should use one of LegacyTripleEquals sibling traits: ConversionCheckedLegacyTripleEquals or TypeCheckedLegacyTripleEquals.

Note: This trait is extended by org.scalatest.Assertions, because it provides the same kind of === operator that was historically provided by Assertions. The purpose of this trait is to maintain compatibility with existing ScalaTest code that uses the original === operator. After ScalaTest no longer supports Scala 2.9, the “legacy” triple equals traits will be deprecated and eventually removed. Good error messages will be obtained for both == and === through assert macros. In the transition phase, you can in production code use regular triple equals traits, whose === operators return Boolean, and in test code use "legacy" triple equals traits, whose === operators return Option[String].

This trait will override or hide implicit methods defined by its sibling traits, ConversionCheckedLegacyTripleEquals or TypeCheckedLegacyTripleEquals, and can therefore be used to temporarily turn of type checking in a limited scope. Because the methods in LegacyTripleEquals (and its siblings)override all the methods defined in supertype EqualityConstraints, you can achieve the same kind of nested tuning of equality constraints whether you mix in traits, import from companion objects, or use some combination of both.

In short, you should be able to select a primary constraint level via either a mixin or import, then change that in nested scopes however you want, again either through a mixin or import, without getting any implicit conversion ambiguity. The innermost constraint level in scope will always be in force.
