Re the definition of "equivalence of two atomic values"...

In a definition whose "parameters" appear to be merely two values, it's odd to
have one of the rules suddenly talk about a GroupingSpec. And while it could
maybe slide by if 'equivalence' were only used for 'group by', it's now used by
Switch too, so talk of GroupingSpec makes no sense.

I tried to find a solution involving just changes of wording, but it was ugly.
(The problem is that a GroupingSpec might or might not specify a collation, and
a Switch never specifies a collation.) So I think we should turn equivalence
into an actual pseudo-function, with a third parameter, C, which is an optional
collation.
