I'm not sure.  When I read `structurally-equal?' I think in terms of
"structure" equality, not in terms of "contents" equality.

For example, I'd say '(1 2 3) and '(1 3 2) are structurally equal, but
that's not what Felix means.

OTOH, it's possible that my interpretation of "structurally" is not
correct, of course.

Since it's a kind of special case handling, I'd go with `equal?*' or
`equal*?' or `equal=?' as Peter suggested.


Best wishes.
Mario
