I'd just like to point out that S03 is back-arsewards here - it explains === first, and then explains eqv in terms of ===. Since eqv is the familiar thing people will want most of the time, and === is the weird thing that isn't used very often, it would make far more sense to explain them the other way around (and probably confuse less people). Understanding === should not be a prerequisite for understanding eqv.
