I should have been a trifle more explicit in my reasons.  I think that the
behaviour DOES want to behave similarly to how EQUAL behaves on numbers,
not entirely different.  That's why I think it should not do the type-check
itself, but should call EQUAL.  I.e. if EQUAL works on funny fake-nums, (and
of course, NUMBERP), then so should EQL or EQP or whatever.  It's a matter
of consistancy, not 'optimization'.
