    I  don't  think  it's  possible to remove it easily. Too many
    things have been done after.

    I've only noticed while browsing through the code why he  did
    comment  out  those things. He's comparing memoy addresses of
    nodes, what doesn't work any more after copyObject(). If he's
    not available right now, we must fix that part. I can help on
    that, but someone else must tell what queries should  produce
    which expected output.
