Summary

PLR0124 documentation states:

Comparing a name to itself always results in the same value (...)

Bu it doesn't, as one can overload __eq__.

This came up in a situation where I had an assertion like:

assert foo == foo

I wrote the test because foo's class had overriden eq and I needed to test that the equality still held.

I suggest to rewrite the first sentence, switching "always" to "likely" and adjusting the rest accordingly:

Comparing a name to itself likely results in a truthy value, and is probably a mistake.
