String comparison?

[davep]

Now that strings have been added, what's the intended way of comparing them? I note that there's no 'string=?' and the like, there's no current support for eq?, eqv? or equal? and it seems that '=' (and the other obvious primitives) isn't being overridden for this:

ecmachine:/ guest$ (= "Foo" "Foo")
#f

Good point. Which predicates would you like to see? I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to implement them.

I suppose that would depend on your intent for the design of ECMAchine, but I'm thinking that it would make sense to at least follow R5RS on this: http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/HTML/r5rs-Z-H-9.html#%_sec_6.3.5
