Yes i am aware of this option, but that is still using functions, i am just
wondering if Rob ever wanted to implement an operator for sequence
comparison.

like this:

  sequence s1,s2
  s1 = "ian"
  s2 = "ian"

  if s1 $= s2 then
    printf(1,"s1 = s2\n",{s1,s2})
  else
    printf(1,"s1 != s2\n", {s1,s2})
  end if
