What is the rationale for making recursive-p an optional argument instead of a keyword argument? It generates style warnings and makes it clumsy to delegate to aequalis/compare in other functions.
Aesthetics? It is nicer to write (equals #((foo)) #((bar)) t) than (equals #((foo)) #((bar)) :recursive-p t) What style warnings are generated and by which implementation? I don't get any. Cheers Marco
