\title{Testing equality vs. catcodes}
\begin{document}
\section{Begin 1}
{
Pretest (not): \ifx{& equals\else not\fi
Mangle...
\catcode`\&=1\relax
BRACE: \the\catcode`\{; \meaning{.
AMP: \the\catcode`\&; \meaning&.
Test (not): \ifx{& equals\else not\fi
}
\section{Math 3}
{
Pretest (not): \ifx$& equals\else not\fi
Mangle...
\catcode`\&=3\relax
DOLLAR: \the\catcode`\$; \meaning$.
AMP: \the\catcode`\&; \meaning&.
Test (not): \ifx$& equals\else not\fi
\let\foo$
Test (equals): \ifx$\foo equals\else not\fi
\let\bar&
Test (not): \ifx$\bar equals\else not\fi
Test (equals): \ifx&\bar equals\else not\fi
But still acts like math:&a&.
}

Mangle...
\catcode`\&=\active\let&$
DOLLAR: \the\catcode`\$; \meaning$.
AMP: \the\catcode`\&; \meaning&.

Mangle...
\catcode`\&=\active\let&$
\catcode`\&=4\relax
DOLLAR: \the\catcode`\$; \meaning$.
AMP: \the\catcode`\&; \meaning&.
Test (not): \ifx$& equals\else not\fi
But does NOT act like math.
}

\makeatother
PRIME: \the\catcode`\'; \meaning'.
AMP: \the\catcode`\&; \meaning&.
Test (not): \ifx#& equals\else not\fi
But works as prime?
NO %%% $ a&& $
}
\section{Control Sequences}
% But "defn" is the same
Compare 2 undefined control sequences:
\ifx\stinky\poo equals \else not\fi
Let one to relax:
\let\poo\relax
\ifx\stinky\poo equals \else not\fi
Let both to relax:
\let\poo\relax
\let\stinky\relax
\ifx\stinky\poo equals \else not\fi
\def\foo{FOO}
\let\bar\foo
Test (equals): \ifx\bar\foo equals\else not\fi
\makeatletter
\let\baz\active@math@prime
\makeatother
Test (not): \ifx'\baz equals \else not \fi
Test (not in math): $\ifx'\baz equals \else not \fi$
