The identity and equality operators: == != === !==

This is the only point in the book where these are mentioned. The behavior of these operators is complex: even a pocket reference

The 'switch' statement is only mentioned in the book at this point. There should be
an indication that 'switch' is not implemented for at least one early JavaScript:
Netscape 3's (and presumably early versions).
