It's not iff, unless I misunderstand equal?.
(define a (cons 1 empty))
(define b (cons a a))
(define c (cons 1 empty))
(define d (cons 1 empty))
(define e (cons c d))
(display b)
(newline)
(display e)
(newline)
The two lines printed are identical in Pretty Big, but if I add
(print-graph #t), they're not. --PR
