Yes, I have another patch in the pipeline to have comparing a list or
dictionary with itself return TRUE quickly.
Also, I was thinking of returning TRUE instead of FALSE when running
into the recursiveness limit. If everything compares equal so far, then
it's probably equal.
There should be an error message, but I'm afraid you might get thousands
of them...
