C# `is` operator issue

[mh (marc hoffman)]

The example I provided is contrived. Where I’ve used it before is to check that an object passed as a constructor argument isn’t null. I don’t mind using ==null instead of is null but the VC# compiler accepts both. I think the edge case that the is operator avoids issues if you’ve also overridden the == method for a class.

Hm,. that makes no logical sense though. is does not check for equality.

…later…

ahh, kill me now (emphasis mine):

The is operator checks if the result of an expression is compatible with a given type, or (starting with C# 7.0) tests an expression against a pattern.
