<description>
- <p>This module contains functions for list processing. The functions
- are organized in two groups: those in the first group perform a
- particular operation on one or more lists, whereas those in the
- second group are higher-order functions, using a fun as argument
- to perform an operation on one list.</p>
+ <p>This module contains functions for list processing.</p>
+
<p>Unless otherwise stated, all functions assume that position
numbering starts at 1. That is, the first element of a list is at
position 1.</p>
+ <p>Two terms <c>T1</c> and <c>T2</c> compare equal if
+ <c>T1&nbsp;==&nbsp;T2</c> evaluates to <c>true</c>. They match
+ if <c>T1&nbsp;=:=&nbsp;T2</c> evaluates to <c>true</c>.</p>

<c>F</c> is expected as argument, it is assumed that the
