Agreed.  Comparing functions is always fraught with dangers, as we are
witnessing here (this very fundamental problem was arguably the original
motivation for inventing type-classes in Haskell to avoid the ugly
ad-hoc "eqtypes" of SML).

We need the comparison here for backward compatibility, but we should
supplement it with a variable, like we did with
`electric-indent-inhibit` (and not with
electric-indent-functions-without-reindent which just suffers from the
same fundamental problem).
