Comparing two numbers: `equaln'

This abstraction can only be used to compare Church Numerals. To compare other objects like symbols, strings or closures `equalx' has to be used, one of the primitive functions introduced by the extension of A++.


(define equaln 
   (lambda (m n)
      (land (zerop (sub m n))
         (zerop (sub n m)))))


(bdisp! (equaln two three))
                             --> false
(bdisp! (equaln two two))
                             --> true
