        valid as input in some category may be not valid for other categories.
        Hence,  these  operations  are  not  thought  to  be  used  in generic
        categorical algorithms.[133X

  [33X[0;0YBy  default,  CAP uses caches to store the values of Categorical operations.
  To  get  a value out of the cache, one needs to compare the input of a basic
  operation  with  its  previous  input.  To  compare objects in the category,
  IsEqualForCacheForObjects  is  used.  By  default, IsEqualForCacheForObjects
  falls  back  to IsEqualForCache (see ToolsForHomalg), which in turn defaults
  to  recursive comparison for lists and [10XIsIdenticalObj[110X in all other cases. If
  you  add  a function via [10XAddIsEqualForCacheForObjects[110X, that function is used
  instead. A function [23XF: a,b \mapsto bool[123X is expected there. The output has to
  be true or false. Fail is not allowed in this context.[133X
