/**
 * Performs a shallow equality check between two values of the same type.
 *
 * This function compares two values to determine if they are shallowly equal.
 * It first checks if the values are strictly equal using the `is` function.
 * If not, it verifies that both values are object-like and compares their
 * properties. The comparison ensures that all properties in the first object
 * exist in the second object and have the same value, and vice versa.
 *
 * @typeParam T - The type of the values being compared.
 * @param a - The first value to compare.
 * @param b - The second value to compare.
 * @returns `true` if the values are shallowly equal, otherwise `false`.
