(Unlike with || in Go, however, eq is a function call and all the
arguments will be evaluated.)
-The comparison functions work on basic types only (or named basic
-types, such as "type Celsius float32"). They implement the Go rules
-for comparison of values, except that size and exact type are
-ignored, so any integer value, signed or unsigned, may be compared
-with any other integer value. (The arithmetic value is compared,
-not the bit pattern, so all negative integers are less than all
-unsigned integers.) However, as usual, one may not compare an int
-with a float32 and so on.
