Frankly I think you could reuse '==' for the *exact* compare between
two items in the Number hierarchy
and leave '=' �as the yes they are *equal* but not the same....
then you could really rummage about and fix/explain/justify why
29347921734912734927349279273499274 ==
(29347921734912734927349279273499274-1+1) �is false and explain why
in the same manner as saying (1/10) == 0.1 is false, & resolve why 0.1
== (0.1-0.01+0.01) is false yet 10 == (10-1+1) �is true.
And yes people do things like use '==' for numbers, for the strangest
reasons.
