I would not have any problem with this returning false.  In the normal ptr
world:
char c, d;
char* p, *q;
p = &c;
q = &d;

if( p == q ) // false

People expect it to compare memory locations, not initialization status.
Therefore, I would have no problem with operator== returning true only if
both
were uninitialized.
