Or as verbose as needed [1]: ident, eq, <op>, <op>_num, <op>_string for <op> in (lt le gt ge) eq and ne are a bit special - yes they do vtable->is_equal now, but that might be wrong when either numerically or string-compare is intended. <op> and (<op>_num, <op>_string) seem to be suitable for languages that don't have different compare ops and those like perl that have respectively. > ++Jos.es leo [1] eq, ne, lt, le, gt, ge are already widely used
