+/// # Subtyping and Equality
+///
+/// `HeapType` does not implement `Eq`, because heap types have a subtyping
+/// relationship, and so 99.99% of the time you actually want to check whether
+/// one type matches (i.e. is a subtype of) another type. You can use the
+/// [`HeapType::matches`] method to perform these types of checks. If, however,
+/// you are in that 0.01% scenario where you need to check precise equality
+/// between types, you can use the [`HeapType::eq`] method.
