If those haven't been deprecated yet, they almost certainly will be. It was
decided that they were a mistake, and AFAIK, pretty much no one uses them.
opEquals and opCmp are all that there is for overloading comparison
operators.

You cannot overload == and != separately, but why would you need to? There's
no reason for a != b to not be the same as !(a == b) even with floating
point
comparisons. e.g.
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
float f;
writeln(f == f);
writeln(f != f);
}
prints
false
true
