Why does CompareTag exist?

.tag ==

CompareTag()

I don't understand why the latter exists.

I wondered that myself before, since CompareTag seems more cumbersome. Turns out it's faster and doesn't allocate memory like string comparisons do. (Now if only I would stop forgetting that it exists....)
