re: Concerning "EQ but not EQUAL"...
Is a CL implementation in error if it implements EQUAL by returning T if
the arguments are EQ, as a performance hack?
The buzz words "EQ but not EQUAL" imply calling EQUAL at two different
times; the altered item (which remains EQ to itself) is no longer EQUAL
to the "platonic" original version.
