    Char-equal

    Character equality without regard to case

    For characters x and y, (char-equal x y) is true if and only if x and y are the same except perhaps for their case.

    The guard on char-equal states that its arguments are both characters.

    Char-equal is a Common Lisp function. See any Common Lisp documentation for more information. Note that the value returned may depend on the host Lisp; see soundness, specifically Example 1 in the Section, “Examples of divergence among Lisp implementations”.

    Function: char-equal

    (defun char-equal (x y)
      (declare (xargs :guard (and (characterp x) (characterp y))))
      (eql (char-downcase x)
           (char-downcase y)))
