Built-in equality and inequality predicates based on comparison of canonical forms in algebraic specifications are frequently used because they are handy and efficient. However, their use places algebraic specifications with initial algebra semantics beyond the pale of theorem proving tools based, for example, on explicit or inductionless induction techniques, and of other formal tools for checking key properties such as confluence, termination, and sufficient completeness. Such specifications would instead be amenable to formal analysis if an equationally-defined equality predicate enriching the algebraic data types were to be added to them. Furthermore, having an equationally-defined equality predicate is very useful in its own right, par...
