I think an Equalp hashtable would also be useful because it would
allow you to use arrays and structures as keys.
In my code I have never had any great use for the case-insensitiveness
of equalp, since I use string-equal. In fact, I think it would be
useful if there was a predicate which used eql for comparison and
descended into arrays and structures. There have been a number of
times when I could have used such a function.
