Does this mean that oqpy classes shouldn't be subclassed outside of these modules (vaguely what sealed means in some other languages)?

Hmm, good point I hadn't considered that. Passing in a trivial subclass probably shouldn't break things.
Thinking about it more, we only need to avoid using a == b test when it's an instance of OQPyExpression since it's subtypes of that class which have __eq__ overridden, so I've changed this clause to look for that instead.
I've added a test for the case of using a trivial subclass.

Also have added a method to allow subclasses to control how matching works if required

I am creating
oqpyvariables from some other representation, and I wanted to attach some extra data to the oqpy variables to indicate their provenance. When I did this, I got failures fromexpr_matchessince it's method of traversing the__dict__recursively is not applicable to my data, which has reference cycles.I've modified
expr_matchesso that it short circuits on object identity, and so that it only descends intoobj.__dict__for objects from the oqpy package, rather than any externally produced data.
