Consistency
In the R^3 Report, it is stated that some implementations allow
(= z1 z2...) which test if all its arguments are numerically
equal. [p.19]
I like this, but I wonder why we do not, for consistency, state
that some implementations will allow multiple argument:
EQ? EQUAL? EQV?
After all, they are comparison functions just like `='.
For that matter, what about: BOOLEAN? INTEGER? ...
Or even: CHAR-ALPHABETIC? ...
** Or anything else with a `?' in its name! **
Does this sound like ``Andy Rooney meets RRRS''?

P.S. I'm not just trying to make trouble... I honestly
wanted to test (eq? x y z) today... really.
