That is,  x*pwdelta(y) -->  when x=y.  The decision, is x=y may not be 
obvious in some instances. For example, x and y may be complicated 
expressions or may be numerical values that are very slightly 
different.  (In Mathematica, there is a notion of accuracy associated 
with software floats -- two numbers may be deemed equal if their 
uncertainty is sufficiently large, even if they are not identical).
