Description Maxime Daniel CLA 2007-03-29 02:46:29 EDT 
Equivalence relationships, as far as maths are concerned, are symmetrical. This method implementation is not symmetrical. I therefore believe that the name is misleading.
(BTW, I could not make sense of the second part of the comment without reading the code.)
