Re: simple problem with string handling

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Another idea from Peter Dow was to have a comparison operator that'd 
compare by subfields, not by the entire data structure - somewhat like 
EVAL-CORR, it could be a BIF or something like that.

No change to behavior, just an additional way to compare.

When I get a little time, I think I'll submit this with the use cases 
already presented and suggestions.

Cheers
Vern
