##  <#GAPDoc Label="OMTestXML">
##  <ManSection>
##  <Func Name="OMTestXML" Arg="obj" />
##  <Func Name="OMTest"    Arg="obj" />
##  <Description>
##  Converts <A>obj</A> to XML &OpenMath; and back. Returns true if and 
##  only if <A>obj</A> is unchanged (as a &GAP; object) by this operation. 
##  The &OpenMath; standard does not stipulate that converting to and from 
##  &OpenMath; should be the identity function so this is a useful 
##  diagnostic tool. 
##  <Example>
##  <![CDATA[
##  gap> OMTestXML([[1..10],[1/2,2+E(4)],ZmodnZObj(2,6),(1,2),true,"string"]);     
##  true
##  ]]>

##  <Ref Func="OMTest"/> is a synonym to <Ref Func="OMTestXML"/>
