Well, my feeling is that people shouldn't rely on the exact truth value
which comes back from a true/false predicate. Sad that it ws documented
like that.
By the way, here's some more data. There seems to be a pattern:
Arg1 Arg2 Return Value
A AB T
AB ABC T
ABC ABCD T
ABCD ABCDE T
ABCDE ABCDEF LESSP
ABCDEF ABCDEFG T
ABCDEFG ABCDEFGH T
ABCDEFGH ABCDEFGHI T
ABCDEFGHI ABCDEFGHIJ T
ABCDEFGHIJ ABCDEFGHIJK LESSP
ABCDE ABCDEFG LESSP
Looks like when the characters match exactly up to the length of the first
symbol and the second symbol's pname continues on, the symbol LESSP is
returned. Pretty odd.
