Also note that the Common Lisp functions @code{member} and @code{assoc}
use @code{eql} to compare elements, whereas Emacs Lisp follows the
MacLisp tradition and uses @code{equal} for these two functions.
-In Emacs, use @code{memq} (or @code{cl-member}) and @code{assq} (or
-@code{cl-assoc}) to get functions which use @code{eql} for comparisons.
