Grep the egg repo, you will find some uses. But generally speaking, it's somewhat difficult to come up with a metric of usefulness - the danger being (as always) being blinded by our own limited experience. Having a substring comparison is somwhat orthogonal to substring extraction and not having to allocate an intermediate string just to compare (say) two fields may save some bytes. Not necessarily in all implementations, but in a sufficiently smart one... felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list Chicken-hackers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
