I don't actually think we need to change any of the formatting in this
patch, I'm just noting that usinng MEMEQ()/MEMNEQ() might not be the
best choice for comparing, e.g., structs (and that comparing their
members individually might be better there).
_Maybe_ that's something that could be mentioned in the documentation,
but I wouldn't change the code at all.
