compare() and equal()

This bugs me a bit:
compare can do this:
x = compare({1,2,{3,{4}},5}, {2-1,1+1,{3,{4}},6-1})
-- identical, x is 0
but if i use equal there, it faults out with an error about a sequence being in
there.
Also, if equal() is true, it returns boolean true, but if compare() is true, it
returns
boolean false.
Robert, can equal() be made more like compare() when it comes to those nested
subsequences?
