Our implementation of deepEqual is already strict. Well, it uses SameValue, aka Object.is, so it accounts for -+0 and NaN.

We could simply add an alias of deepStrictEqual to use deepEqual for method name parity with Node, but Chai still won’t be a drop in replacement for Node.

BTW, we’ve never had a request to make deepEqual less strict.
