Unsafe code with Unity

Does Unity compile unsafe code. The reason I am asking is not for performance issues. I'm trying to implement something similar to AngryAnts CopyInspector but work on single values instead of all the properties which is looking in possible at the moment. I can't do reference comparisons because int float double ect get boxed. The only way I can see a way of doing what I want is to do pointer comparisons. I know this is unsafe but the memory locations should be the same at the point of comparison.

Edit: Thought I may aswell post my code. Its nothing special. The SaveValue methods are where I'm trying to implement my saving functionality.
