I make no effort to look for functional equality between two different functions. too many side effects could go off trying to make that work, and it would still be only inconsistently right. (IIRC, doing it completely is NP-hard.)

Godel, Halting Problem, and all that.

So you don't need to apologize for not doing it ;-)
