When you said this:
I mean, if you're going to be comparing against a literal value, and
the doc slants you toward using `eq' as it does
since you *don't* want the doc to slant towards `eq', I read that
paragraph as sarcastic.
By the way, this
I'm really surprised this doc got inserted as it is.
is too easily read as a snide jab (I know, you didn't mean it that way),
so it would be nice if you could leave out that kind of meta-opinion
from future reports.
