       I observe as an aside also that your description is somewhat
       meta-circular, though perhaps not enough to worry about here. You
       effectively begin by saying that EQV? computes whether two things
       are distinct (for which i read "not the same"), and yet the
       terminology uses the word "the same" all over the place.
    
    Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

24 years later, still going round.  Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
