@cindex object
@cindex equality
Here we describe two functions that test for equality between any two
-objects. Other functions test equality between objects of specific
+objects. Other functions test equality of contents between objects of specific
types, e.g., strings. For these predicates, see the appropriate chapter
describing the data type.
