(info "(cl) Lists as Sets") says

> With no keyword arguments, ‘cl-member’ is equivalent to ‘memq’.

It is not true, since cl-member uses eql by default, while memq uses eq.

  (cl-member 1.0 '(1.0))
  ;; => (1.0)
  
  (memq 1.0 '(1.0))
  ;; => nil

Yup; the documentation is wrong here.  I've now removed that sentence
about memq from the manual on the Emacs trunk.
