I'm disputing that chained comparisons are used for the particular
combinations that I am actually arguing should not be used in python.
Such as a < b > c or a != b != c [whereas a may or may not be equal to
c] or a in b in c. Your claim seemed to be that these combinations *are*
used, since you claimed that python implements the *same* semantics.
