If you like to overload operators with very different meanings, by all means go ahead, but please don't do it for something I use all the time, like ranges. We already have $range ~~ $inside and $range !~ $outside, and boundary checking isn't exactly interesting, but could probably be done with any($range.min, $range.max) == $boundary. I'd assume $foo < $range to compare $foo to the number of elements in the range, OR $foo < $range to mean $foo < $range.min, and $foo > $range to mean $foo > $range.max, and would be surprised if they meant anything else.
