Or, are the operators written in a tricky way, to return an object that encapsulates the original right argument and the proper boolean result, and has forms to take this object as well? IOW, no built-in support.
Yes, they use multiple-typed values such that (3 < 5) returns (5 but True), which used in a numeric context is a 5 that can be chained with further infix:{'<'}s but in a boolean context is True.
