Feature suggestion: Add static equals methods to Float and Double

If the developer implemented the Comparable interface correctly, the method you proposed would be 
equivalent to java.util.Objects.equals(Object, Object).

Additionally both variants would require boxing for primitive types which I initially wanted to prevent.
