...and I think "cmp" is cryptic, arbitrary and ugly, while "=" is
beautiful, and I don't think there is any risk of confusion.  I think
the original "=" is good taste.  :-)

name (e.g. equal-predicate?), and 2. make sure to put a `?' after it
(if it is a textual name) to indicate that it is a predicate.
