Yes, but I think it's better to wait a bit more - should not be more than 1
month or two - because, *before* "conceptification", the comparisons did not
exist. By the way, if you have been able to find an ISO paper / discussion
around the time of the original "conceptification" where the rationale for
adding the operators was discussed, I'd like to see it...

Yes. I'd like to polish a bit some code developed with a friend, in private,
already rather close to do what we want wrt testing the shape of the
distribution in the testsuite. If you like, I can send you what I have...
