There were about 30 unexpected failures in the testsuite due to not
being able to compare records with `equal'.  The fix would either be to
make `equal' compare records just like vectors, or to change all places
using `equal' to something else.

I think the wording of the `equal' docstring and manual makes it ok to
compare records element-wise.  That's also backward compatible.
