        obj : Object -> bool

Remarks

Overriding Equals and GetHashCode on an AvaloniaObject is disallowed for two reasons: - AvaloniaObjects are by their nature mutable - The presence of attached properties means that the semantics of equality are difficult to define See https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/pull/2747 for the discussion that prompted this.
