deepEqual( actual, expected, [message] )
A deep recursive comparison assertion, working on primitive types, arrays and objects.
Similar to equal, compares the content given objects. Its also more strict than equal: Comparisons are done using ===.
Migration note: This method was named "same", which is now deprecated, after adopting CommonJS naming convetions.

Three example assertions showing the difference between equal and deepEqual.
test("a test", function() {
var actual = {a: 1};
equal(actual, {a: 1}, "must fail, same content, but different object, not handled by equals");
deepEqual(actual, {a: "1"}, "must fail, expected value is a string, actual a number");
deepEqual(actual, {a: 1}, "must pass, same content, but different object);
});
