Hehe, design taste makes always for good discussions :-)

I was for cmp (or similar) since it's not really about equality
(in fact, the example shows a meaningful use of < for it). I
thoroughly agree with you on the ?, but I think equal-predicate?
would be misleading (since it's not about any kind of equality
here -- the < used in the example isn't even an equivalence relation).
So how would be `compare?'
