Isn't it the whole point of the current (sub)discussion ? Would you say that in the real world there are several different literals that can have the value "hello" or would you say that two literals that have the same value can be considered to be the same ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interning shows that some programming languages store only one copy of immutable strings (or immutable composite values/immutable structs in some cases) even when these strings that have the same value are created at different places and times in the program. Why would you call that question "philosophical" ? Do you mean it is irrelevant ? If you think it is irrelevant, could you explain why ? -- Nicolas Chauvat logilab.fr - services en informatique scientifique et gestion de connaissances
