/**
 * Compares two values deeply to determine if they are equal.
 *
 * This function handles various data types including arrays, objects, dates, regular expressions,
 * and even React elements. It also includes custom handling for DOM elements and avoids traversing
 * React-specific circular references like `_owner`.
 *
 * @template T - The type of the values being compared.
 * @param {T} a - The first value to compare.
 * @param {T} b - The second value to compare.
 * @returns {boolean} `true` if the values are deeply equal, otherwise `false`.
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * deepEquals({ a: 1, b: [2, 3] }, { a: 1, b: [2, 3] }); // true
 * deepEquals([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]); // true
 * deepEquals(new Date('2023-01-01'), new Date('2023-01-01')); // true
 * deepEquals({ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }); // false
 * ```
