I doubt that's possible without relatively important changes to basic internal routines. The compiler, in its effort to save bytes, puts ROM pointers inside the list.

Comparison of lists is done by comparing the list object as a whole, and technically those two lists are different, even though they are displayed the same. What you want is a comparison done by using == to each element.
This is fundamentally different, so it cannot be fixed easily in ROM and I don't think it will ever be fixed.

To achieve proper list comparison you'd need to use:

Code:


<<  << == >> DOLIST << AND >> STREAM >>
