  \item
  Tuples and lists are compared lexicographically using comparison of
! corresponding elements.  This means that to compare equal, each
! element must compare equal and the two sequences must be of the same
! type and have the same length.
! 
! If not equal, the sequences are ordered the same as their first
! differing elements.  For example, \code{cmp([1,2,x], [1,2,y])} returns
! the same as \code{cmp(x,y)}.  If the corresponding element does not
! exist, the shorter sequence is ordered first (for example,
! \code{[1,2] < [1,2,3]}).
