I don't know if we should, I feel a lot of pro-java tendencies in our styles.
However, it is more convenient if the operators are there, provided they are
sane (like == returning the exact opposite of != every time, a < b being the same
as b > a, etc.). So, if it is clear from context how they should be compared, I
tend to think it is good to have them, if it makes no real sense (like
Name("example.com") == 2 could return true because it has exactly two labels),
then definitely not.

With regards
