I think my argument holds for the more general example you (or Scala)
gives, I don't know if this is worth the effort,
Thanks mg, comments inline.

Hi Paul,
1. if this /is /to be supported, I would still argue for the more
general approach.
2. However, having scanned the blog post, it seems to me the case for
having this kind of support is quite weak.

what I ended up using in this blog post:

In that post, you can see two code fragments that start with
"afterVisitMethod" and contain code using the type checking extension
DSL.
Even without the deep insight into the inner workings of Groovy you guys
have, I would tend to agree with Jochen here:
1. Option 4 looks to be the clean, most flexible & general option.
2. Specialized support for equality that handles or makes handling
easier for both equality operator and eq

I also think option 4 is the right way to go. Option 3 has the benefit

Hi folks,
I was putting together a blog post on supporting Multiversal Equality
with Groovy. It's an optional feature in Scala 3:

Using the example (involving print and audio books) from the above
link, we can write an ad-hoc t
