Ooh! And I came up with a good identity operator! :== (or =:= if you like symmetry). There's a beautiful parallel with := .
$a = $b; $a == $b; # is always true
$a := $b; $a :== $b; # is always true ($a =:= $b; # looks a little better)
While we're rehashing old ideas, I'll take this opportunity to reference a previous idea:

The =:= operator is cute, but it doesn't provide much scope to extend onto the infinite varieties of comparison that can be dreamt up. "eq:id" is much easier to generalize/extend.
