Most concise way to test string equality (not object equality) for Ruby strings or symbols?

Question

I always do this to test string equality in Ruby:

if mystring.eql?(yourstring)  puts "same" else  puts "different" end 

Is this is the correct way to do this without testing object equality?

I'm looking for the most concise way to test strings based on their content.

With the parentheses and question mark, this seems a little clunky.

According to http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Ruby_String_Concatenation_and_Comparison

Doing either

mystring == yourstring

or

mystring.eql? yourstring

Are equivalent.
