Why a separate isequal?

I noticed that:

octave:1> isequal(1,2)
ans =  1

I'm guessing this is a bug.  Nonetheless, why is there even a separate isequal function?  Why can't it just be defined as

function [res] = isequal(a,b)
  res = (a == b)
endfunction

Are there types for which it's meant to differ from ==?  Is this supposed to be used for some sort of test?
