    020/**
    021 * Equality of instructions isn't clearly to be defined. You might
    022 * wish, for example, to compare whether instructions have the same
    023 * meaning. E.g., whether two INVOKEVIRTUALs describe the same
    024 * call.<br>The DEFAULT comparator however, considers two instructions
    025 * to be equal if they have same opcode and point to the same indexes
    026 * (if any) in the constant pool or the same local variable index. Branch
    027 * instructions must have the same target.
