SE-0494: Add `isIdentical(to:)` Methods for Quick Comparisons to Concrete Types

Swift already has established the isKnown construct in e.g. isKnownUniquelyReferenced
When something "is known" to have a property, it has that property. But when "is known" is false, it is uncertain if it has that property.

I think most people understand that, and if they don't immediately get the meaning of it, the name has just enough friction for you to pause and reflect and/or investigate the docs, methinks.
