Adding isSame() And isDifferent() Convenience Methods To ColdFusion

This article discusses adding isSame() and isDifferent() user-defined functions to ColdFusion as semantic wrappers around the built-in compare() function. The author explains how compare() returns numeric results (0 for same, non-zero for different) and creates Boolean wrappers that are more readable. The functions are case-sensitive and intended for use in a CFML project called Big Sexy Poems (BSP) for poem revision management. Includes code examples and output demonstrating usage.
