The value of the testslot is a Java set, each element of the set is a name/value pair (Strings). Two are similar if for a given name, they have the same value (e.g. If the value of A_testslot is "Foo=1;Bar=2" and B_testslot = "Foo=1", they are similar but obviously not equal. However, "Foo=1;Bar=2" is not similar to "Foo=1;Bar=3"). I'm using the semi-colon to distinguish the members of the set.

What does (similar) do? How is it implemented?
