I really like the names "equal-now" and "equal-always".

The "equal-always" operator is the same as "egal"[1], and "equal-now" is the same as "iso" in Arc.

If I ever add an "equal-now" operator to Nulan, now I know what to call it!

There's also various "-now" methods for mutable data types[2].

And there's an EqualityResult type, which reminds me of NULL in SQL[3].
