/*
* Equality between formal protocols is only formal (nothing to do
* with actually checking the list of methods they have!). Two formal
* Protocols are equal if and only if they have the same name.
*
* Please note (for comparisons with other implementations) that
* checking the names is equivalent to checking that Protocol A
* conforms to Protocol B and Protocol B conforms to Protocol A,
* because this happens iff they have the same name. If they have
* different names, A conforms to B if and only if A includes B, but
* the situation where A includes B and B includes A is a circular
* dependency between Protocols which is forbidden by the compiler, so
* A conforms to B and B conforms to A with A and B having different
* names is an impossible case.
