add identity syntax 'foo === bar' which is same as 'foo.is(bar)'

[Daniel.Sun]

Hi, I am a Groovy fan. Now I'm reading 'Groovy in action'. In Groovy, If you really need the identity, you can use the method "is" like foo.is(bar). Don't you think foo === baris more concise than the former? The new syntax is inspired by JavaScript. Thanks, Daniel.Sun

we had the === but we decided it looks too much like ==, so we ditched it.
