AFAICT, the CLIM spec doesn't say anything about what are the acceptable values for the DUPLICATE-TEST argument to FORMAT-GRAPH-FROM-ROOTS (although it does specify that the default value is EQL). This seems very unfortunate. If we were to be limited to the conventional equality test values, then we would be able to use a hash-table to store the graph nodes. However, if the spec permits arbitrary functions of two arguments, that seems to make use of hash-tables impossible. Am I overlooking something? Is this a deficiency in the spec?
