False
Although isNegativeZero might be considered a ``private,
"internal" interface that exposes implementation details.''
Interesting example.
So is the correct conclusion from this that all (polymorphic) code
that assumes (x == y) = True implies x=y is inherently broken,
or is just this particular Eq instance that's broken?
