Non-objects are hard coded in this module. Objects are expected to have an `FP_Equal_equal` method that is able to take an argument of the same class as the object to compare. If it doesn't have such an object, it simply can't be compared using the C functions, they will give "no such method" exceptions; C falls back to using L (which uses L) in such cases. This does *name based* type comparison: structurally equivalent objects do not count as equal if they do not have the same class (or more general, reference name); the `FP_Equal_equal` method is not even called in this case, and the functions return undef. This might be subject to change: certain pairs of types will be fine to compare; let the classes provide a method that checks whether a type is ok to compare? =head1 TODO - cycle detection - immutable version -> equals_now equals_forever - do we need the possibility for "context" dependent (and not by way of subclassing and overriding equals_*) equality comparisons? =head1 SEE ALSO L for the protocol definition L used as fallback in C.
