Change in behavior for = with Unicode string classes

When comparing Unicode strings that for which all printing characters are the same, but in which there are difference in non-printing characters, previously the String would compare as false.  In version 3.2 and later, such UnicodeStrings compare as equal.

For example, the following:

   (Unicode16 with: $a with: $b) = (Unicode16 with: $a with: $b with: (Character withValue: 0))

returns false in 3.1.x and returns true in 3.2.x
