Code inspection: 'Object.ReferenceEquals' is always false because it is called with value type

This inspection reports object.ReferenceEquals called with a value type argument. That comparison is always false for value types in this context, so it usually indicates the wrong equality check was chosen.

Example

                int x = 1;
                int y = 1;
                var same = object.ReferenceEquals(x, y);
            

                int x = 1;
                int y = 1;
                var same = object.Equals(x, y);
