Hm. Right at the moment, it wouldn't be used for equality tests unless
you spelled equality as "a ~=~ b". I wonder whether that's necessary
though; couldn't we dispense with that operator and use ordinary
equality as the BTEqual member of these opclasses? Are there any
locales that claim that not-physically-identical strings are equal?
