Heya! Just some background on my -1 vote:
1. the `==` operator is already riddled with edge cases and complexity, and it is overall advisable to stay away from it 2. comparison of value objects already works correctly with `==` (if we don't consider edge cases like `'0.' == '0.0'`) 3. the suggested approach is to add more interface-less reserved/magic methods: an `Eq` and an `Ord` class would have solved this much more elegantly and with clear type declarations that can be re-used in userland. With this patch, we have to rely on `method_exists()` instead. 4. It would also be much clearer to enforce that `Ord extends Eq`, rather than adding implicit "sorting implies equality" rules 5. "the methods are not restricted to instances of the same class" - this is something I disagree with, but we lack the type system facilities to declare the variance of the `Eq` and `Ord` operations for a specific class.
