If it is going to be changed, why not do away with the syntactic sugar that is 
~= or != or whatever? Everyone can just use 'not (X == Y)' which is the same 
thing.

For that matter, we can also get rid of one of 'and' or 'or'. If 'or' is 
dropped, then get used to typing 'not (not X and not Y)'. I'm sure everyone 
will be much happier without the needless complexity of having two binary 
logic operators where only one will do.
