if an object is the exact same object ie. the same object in memory, it's known as being "strictly equal" and that's used in JS with the === operator. But if we only want to check to see if the contents inside of an object are the same, that's known as being "deep"ly equal. 

expect(clone({hi:"hello"})).to.deep.equal({hi:"hello"});
