I was going to add this in, but then I considered whether it was really useful. 
The reality is that it is better for the caller to write:

 if (this == other) {
   return true;
 }
 return new EqualsBuilder().append(.......

than to always use the EqualsBuilder:

 return new EqualsBuilder(this, other).append(......

(which involves much more processing)
