Object#equals(Object) that takes a class's declared fields into consideration. Equality is resolved by comparing two
instances of the same or a compatible class field by field where reference fields must either both be null or where the field value of
the instance upon which the method is invoked returns true upon calling the value's equals method. For arrays, the corresponding
utilities of java.util.Arrays are used.
