I guess the main rationale is having more clarity and avoid confusing
two independent concepts (equality and identity). However, I'm
interested in the "official" explanation too.

Maybe it would be a good idea having another operator for reference
equality? Like '===' or something similar.

We could have =@= for checking structural equivalence, =:= for
arithmetic equivalence, = for unificaction and == for something else,
like Prolog.
