+1, but unrelated to performance or whatever: I always viewed `eqv?'
as some kind of a semi-efficient-but-try-to-do-the-right-thing tool,
or perhaps as a tool that is kind of like `eq?' but more robust wrt
semantics (for some vague meaning of "semantics").  Without some
standard to think about, and without worrying about other
implementations, is there some use for `eqv?' that doesn't fit `eq?'
or `equal?'?
