| 68 | for datatypes that are enumerations, do not build a case dispatch,\r | |
| 69 | just use <span class="monospaced">MLton_eq</span>, as the backend will represent these as ints\r | |

| 74 | deep equality always does an <span class="monospaced">MLton_eq</span> test first\r | |

| 79 | If one argument to <span class="monospaced">=</span> is a constant and the type will get\r | |
| 80 | translated to an <span class="monospaced">IntOrPointer</span>, then just use <span class="monospaced">eq</span> instead of the\r | |
| 81 | full equality. This is important for implementing code like the\r | |
| 82 | following efficiently:\r | |

| 91 | Also convert pointer equality on scalar types to type specific\r | |
| 92 | primitives.\r | |
