Since non-EQ structures can never be EQUAL or EQUALP, there's no reason
the hash table implementation should hash on the structure contents.
I thought that the eventual decision of X3J13 was that distinct
DEFSTRUCT structures were indeed EQUALP if their corresponding slots
were EQUALP. This is the definition on page 109 of CLtL/2e, anyway.
