After a few days of looking for a sensible name, I settled on
`equals?' in Swindle.  It makes sense because equalities are order
from the smallest one up (`eq?', short, so it must be able to fit in
between most object, and it must be very fast, `equals?' is so long it
must be slow).  (In CL there is `equalp' above `equal'.)
