I want four special new comparison operators. Firstly, " e q " That is, an operator that ignores any leading, any trailing, and treats all intraspace as equivalent. If the embedded space is confusing, I may consider suggesting an operator modifier, "/ ". Secondly, Eq, which operates only the so-called dictionary order, that is, ignoring all non-alphabetic characters (and case). I will possibly also want Cmp which will sort "foo200" before "foo1000". Thirdly, I want ==/R which will know that "v" is equal to 5, I need to keep my lists of Popes in good order. Fourthly, I want eq/multinlingual since I simply need to have "jouluaatto" eq "Christmas Eve" -- $jhi++; # http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ # There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'. # It is 'dead'. -- Jack Cohen
