| Compares two objects for equality. Returns a boolean that indicates
whether this object is equivalent to the specified object. This method
is used when an object is stored in a hashtable.
In the case of this class, if the contatenated ns+local string names
are equal, then the PropertyNames are equal.
It should be noted that this method can take a String as a
parameter and match on it. That equality relationship is
not communative though since the String.equals(Object) method
will never return true if passed a PropertyName.
Parameters:
obj - the Object to compare with true if these Objects are equal; false otherwise.
