The eq operator is a weird speed hack which
is best avoided unless you are very sure you know
what you are doing. It simply compares the two
given arguments as machine words, and hence its
results depend on implementation details of the
various datatypes. In the current (-1.5.0) Muq
implemention, eq will distinguish floats,
ints and characters correctly, and strings of
three characters or less, and beyond this will
distinguish objects which have different
addresses.
