Summary: False Positives on eql?()

Initial Comment:
I accidentally typed:
  ob.should eql?(something)

This passed incorrectly.  It seems to be that I've essentially compared the 'something' value to the behavior object, and generated a false; by way of example, this also passes:
  ob.should false

Both of these are presumably dangerous false positives, particularly the former that's one keystroke away from the valid approach, and in keeping with eql? elsewhere, so it's an easy mistake to make.
