Except "==". Using "=" instead would be consistent.

PS. Lisp, Ada, Eiffel and Haskell use "/=" for inequality. Icon uses
"~=" for numbers and "~==" for strings. Simula uses NE for value
inequality and "=/=" for identity inequality.  OCaml uses "=" and "<>"
for value (in)equality, and "==" and "!=" for identity (in)equality.
