No (an integer could be a fixnum or a bignum), but lists and conses
should be in that list.  I've now added that on the emacs-30 release
branch, and I'm therefore closing this bug.  Thanks for pointing out
the omission.

Equality Predicates (GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual)
<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Equality-Predicates.html>

In the descriptive text of function "equal":

"The equal function recursively compares the contents of objects if they
are integers, strings, markers, vectors, bool-vectors, byte-code function
objects, char-tables, records, or font objects."

Shouldn't "integers" here be "conses" or "lists"?
