Re: greaterequalp x y
Ah, but it does...and the name of the function is (surprise!) "greaterp".
To decide if x is greater than or equal to y, just write (not (greaterp y x)).
While it may not interpret as fast, the compiler knows what you said and
it will run just as fast as a hypothetical greaterequalp function.
