It isn't, though, not quite.  What it needs to do is not a dichotomy of
"if inexact, use epsilon, otherwise use `equal?`" but rather to have
a version of `equal?` that uses epsilon when it comes to a float.
That way comparisons against list or vector structure that contains
floats (as in the OP's case) will work correctly.
