Yeah, but they also don't work for this.  First, I'm guessing that reduce
will not stop immediately when equal encounters a False.  (It doesn't do
"and".)

Also, it just plain doesn't work.
	>>> import Numeric
	>>> a = Numeric.zeros((3,5))
	>>> Numeric.equal.reduce(a.flat)
	0
	>>> Numeric.equal.reduce([0,0,0,0,0,0,1])
	1
