/*
Equal returns true iff protocol buffers a and b are equal.
The arguments must both be protocol buffer structs,
or both be pointers to protocol buffer structs.

Equality is defined in this way:
  - Two messages are equal iff they are the same type,
    corresponding fields are equal, unknown field sets
    are equal, and extensions sets are equal.
  - Two set scalar fields are equal iff their values are equal.
    If the fields are of a floating-point type, remember that
    NaN != x for all x, including NaN.
  - Two repeated fields are equal iff their lengths are the same,
    and their corresponding elements are equal (a "bytes" field,
    although represented by []byte, is not a repeated field)
  - Two unset fields are equal.
  - Two unknown field sets are equal if their current
    encoded state is equal. (TODO)
  - Two extension sets are equal iff they have corresponding
    elements that are pairwise equal.
  - Every other combination of things are not equal.

The return value is undefined if a and b are not protocol buffers.
