Comment (by mmezzarobba):

 Replying to [comment:28 rws]:
 > Testing equality of symbolics in general is undecidable. If you remove
 all expressions with variables however, it is easy

 It is undecidable even without variables.

 > The idea to abuse `cmp` is not mine. Somewhere here `RLF(1) <
 RLF(sqrt(2))` for example, symbolic `cmp` is called. Should I file a bug
 report for such usage?

 I'd say it probably is a bug. As to whether you should file a bug report,
 I don't know—I doubt anyone really reads them, and the issue is probably
 already covered somewhere in the myriad of known bugs with comparisons...
