```grain
equal: (value1: a, value2: a) => Bool
```

Check that two values are equal. This checks for structural equality,
so it also works for comparing things like tuples and lists.

Parameters:

| param    | type | description        |
| -------- | ---- | ------------------ |
| `value1` | `a`  | The first operand  |
| `value2` | `a`  | The second operand |

Returns:

| type   | description                                                      |
| ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Bool` | `true` if the values are structurally equal or `false` otherwise |
