Returns:
whether this object can be assigned to the provided receiver. We distinguish
between 3 values: 
  - EXACT_MATCH if this object is exactly of the type expected by the receiver
  - WEAKLY_ASSIGNABLE if this object is not exactly the expected type but is assignable nonetheless
  - NOT_ASSIGNABLE if it's not assignable
Most caller should just call the isAssignable() method on the result, though functions have a use for
testing "strong" equality to decide the most precise overload to pick when multiple could match./**
