#eql?(other) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if and only if the following are true; otherwise returns false:

- <tt>other.class == self.class</tt>.
- For each member name +name+, <tt>other.name.eql?(self.name)</tt>.

   Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip)
   joe    = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345)
   joe_jr = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345)
   joe_jr.eql?(joe) # => true
   joe_jr[:name] = 'Joe Smith, Jr.'
   joe_jr.eql?(joe) # => false
