Brian,

then x = y will be true, assuming the type of x and y admits equality.
It is really intended for use where a user function wants to test for
equality in some general sense and knowing that actually the values are
the s

The puristic approach to structutal equality in SML turns out as a

think Haskell / GHC does).
