It appears that what you are proposing is what interned string comparison already does (since == checks for pointer equality first).
But INequality checking may still require strcmp. Inverse logic again.
I never claimed it wouldn't. All i'm saying is that string comparison already does this: compare pointers, then if not equal, compare strings.
So, the only observable effect of the change would be to break all code that tests for type(s) == str.
Yes, that's certainly a problem.
But you haven't responded to my point. Would there be *any* effect other than breakage? -- ?!ng
