The test_while_is_not function relied on strings and literals to test
the 'while_is_not' function. But the while_is_not function uses the 'is'
operator to test the equivalency of 2 objects.
This triggers a bug with python 3.11 where using 'is' with literals is
not advised (it is not recommended since python 3.8 [0]).
The test now uses objects from a specific class to evaluate the
while_is_not function.
