Log Message:
-----------
handy.h - update docs for memEQ() / memEQs() to clairify their subtle
differences and uses
These two macro functions have the same number of args, but do subtly
different things, with subtly different requirements and which are
absolutely not direct replacements for each other yet easily mistaken
for each other. You could argue that memEQs() is much more like a
hypothetical 4 argument comparison of (ptr1,len2) vs (ptr2,len2) than
it is to the 3 argument comparison that memEQ() uses.
