19 //! Returns a `Logical` representing whether `x` is equal to `y`.
20 //! @ingroup group-Comparable
21 //!
22 //! The `equal` function can be called in two different ways. First, it
23 //! can be called like a normal function:
24 //! @code
25 //! equal(x, y)
26 //! @endcode
27 //!
28 //! However, it may also be partially applied to an argument by using
29 //! `equal.to`:
30 //! @code
31 //! equal.to(x)(y) == equal(x, y)
32 //! @endcode
33 //!
34 //! In other words, `equal.to(x)` is a function object that is equivalent
35 //! to `partial(equal, x)`. This is provided to enhance the readability of
36 //! some constructs, especially when using higher order algorithms.
37 //!
38 //!
39 //! Signature
40 //! ---------
41 //! Given a Logical `Bool` and two Comparables `A` and `B` that
42 //! share a common embedding, the signature is
43 //! @f$ \mathtt{equal} : A \times B \to Bool @f$.
44 //!
45 //! @param x, y
46 //! Two objects to compare for equality.
47 //!
48 //!
49 //! Example
50 //! -------
51 //! @include example/equal.cpp
52 //!
53 //!
54 //! > #### Rationale for the arity of `equal`
55 //! > It is a valid question whether `equal` should accept more than 2
56 //! > arguments and have semantics matching those of Python's `==`. This
57 //! > is not supported right now for the following reasons:
58 //! > - It was implemented in the MPL11, but it was not shown to be useful
59 //! > so far.
60 //! > - It does not make sense for `not_equal` to have an arity of more
61 //! > than 2, only `equal` could maybe have those semantics, which would
62 //! > break symmetry.
