deepEqual does not descriminate by type

[chrisdew]

assert.deepEqual({foo:10}, {foo:'10'}); returns true.

Hi! This isn't related to mocha. However:

That's how node's assert.deepEqual() works, it uses ==. This standalone module made by substack supports strict deep equal via an opts object: https://www.npmjs.com/package/deep-equal.

Or you could use chai. chai has a deep flag, and equal uses ===:

var expect = require('chai').expect
expect({foo:10}).to.deep.equal({foo:'10'}) // AssertionError: expected { foo: 10 } to deeply equal { foo: '10' }

chai docs about deep: http://chaijs.com/api/bdd/#deep-section

FYI: io.js has introduced a deepStrictEqual() method to mirror deepEqual() but performs strict equality checks on primitives since io.js 1.2.0.

Thanks for all your help.

Awesome, thanks for sharing @twada!
