 `Gap_generic`.

 Good; let us use that.

 `_identical_function` in `Gap_generic` (parallel to `_equality_symbol`
 etc.), say:

 I think it should be a class-level attribute instead of a method because
 it speed cost and a method is IMO somewhat overkill (because no work is
 done).

 Anne, can you check to see if this works?
