this is a gross hack that I used to pass some tests (so that equality(a, deepcopy(a)) holds -- or for that matter, equality(a, a)).
But what we really need is a working isapprox method, see issue #1877

could you split this up into the four files? In the way this is currently, one cannot just run "Complex-test.jl" on its own as it needs this definition.
And I noticed that there is == and isequal for these types, and they call different flint functions. What is the difference and why did you choose isequal for this case?

Sorry my comment was confusing written (I've edited it now). The point is that equality by default is implemented using ==. But for arb types, in general a == a is not satisfied.
Hence this hack of using isequal which at least ensures equality(a, deepcopy(a)) and equality(a, a) both return true. But it doesn't really solve the problem, we need isapprox.
