New submission from Marc Guetg:
I propose to change __ne__ of `object` in the following form:
class NewObject(object):
def __ne__(self, other):
return not self.__eq__(other)
Currently overwriting the `__eq__` method requires also overwriting `__ne__`.
In a vast majority of cases this results in some boilerplate code as:
(a == b) ^ (a != b) == True
to reduce surprises. Changing the default behavior still allows for the limited
number of use cases where we want to implement __ne__ differently.
In short I propose the same behavior than __str__ and __repr__ have for __eq__
and __ne__.
