3.11.3 Object Comparisons

object-eqv?	generic
object-eqv? ((x <top>) (y <top>))	method
object-equal?	generic
object-equal? ((x <top>) (y <top>))	method

Generic functions and default (unspecialized) methods for comparing two GOOPS objects. The default methods always return #f. Application class authors may wish to define specialized methods for object-eqv? and object-equal? that compare instances of the same class for equality in whatever sense is useful to the application.
