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.
