Equivalent(mixed $compareTo)
Validates if the input is equivalent to some value.
v::equivalent(1)->assert(true);
// Validation passes successfully
v::equivalent('Something')->assert('someThing');
// Validation passes successfully
v::equivalent(new ArrayObject([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]))->assert(new ArrayObject([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));
// Validation passes successfully
This validator is very similar to Equals but it does not make case-sensitive comparisons.
