Compare two values of type Any

Equatable+Extension.swift

// From Swift 5.7 onwards, in Xcode 14, we can compare two values of type Any
// as we can cast values to any Equatable and use any Equatable as a parameter type as well
// thanks to Unlock existentials for all protocols change.
// Refer: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals/0309-unlock-existential-types-for-all-protocols.md
