doc: assert.deepStrictEqual() description inaccurate #5365
Description
deepStrictEqual() description currently begins with:
Generally identical to
assert.deepEqual()with the exception that primitive
values are compared using the strict equality operator (===).
But, deepStrictEqual() also compares prototype equality. Example (v5.6.0):
var assert = require("assert");
var a = [0];
var b = {0: 0};
["deepEqual", "deepStrictEqual"].forEach(function (meth) {
assert[meth](a, b, "not " + meth);
});
// AssertionError: not deepStrictEqual
