Why not just use Fequal instead of Fstring_equal?

Because no one said that using a symbol for the IGNORE argument is
forbidden in that function. "nil" just happens to be a special case,
but other strings/symbols are allowed.

I'd be surprised if there is code out there that uses a symbol for the
`ignore` argument. And I don't think it's a feature that you can use
a symbol rather than a string. I think it's rather a (harmless (except
for nil)) bug.

Maybe so, but I see no real reason to switch to using Fequal, either.
