AFAIK using `eql` gives the same result as comparing with `equal`:
It's just an internal optimization that is transparent to the user.

So, just like we did not document the fact that integers (and symbols)
where actually compared with `eq`, there's no need to document that they
are now compared with `eql`: the intended semantics is to give the same
result as when comparing with `equal` so that's what we document.

The patch simply fixes the (unlikely but possible now) case where the
pattern is an integer that's not a fixnum.
