Hi Joel,

I don't agree. It's just that some values can have different
textual representations. For example the two equal objects:
>> a: make object! [a: 1 b: 2]
>> b: make object! [b: 2 a: 1]
>> mold a
== {
make object! [
a: 1
b: 2
]}
>> mold b
== {
make object! [
b: 2
a: 1
]}
are "rendered" differently by mold but are still equal, in the
same way the two words "a" and "aaa" are equal once the alias is
created.
Regards,
Gabriele.
