Well, then perhaps code object comparison (and function object comparison) ought to work the same as 'is', not try to do something clever? This would be ironic since that's what it *used* to do long ago, and then I thought it would be "better" if "equivalent" code objects compared equal. It seems that there are no real use cases for having a code object equivalence test, so we might as well save the effort. Right?
+1 (that's of course what I meant by identity comparison). Were there any use cases you thought of when you made the change? Tim Delaney
