WG1 - Core
description
In R5RS `equal?` is in some sense the broadest
test for equality, comparing structural equality,
but also tests for the same exactness, so that
{{{(equal? 0 0.0) => #f}}}
whereas
{{{(= 0 0.0) => #t}}}
Some users consider this confusing, others sometimes
want an `equal?` that behaves like `=` for numbers.
