Formally, $e_0 op_1 e_1 op_2 e_2 ...e_{n-1} op_n e_n$ is equivalent to
$e_0 op_1 e_1$ \verb\and\ $e_1 op_2 e_2$ \verb\and\ ... \verb\and\
$e_{n-1} op_n e_n$, except that each expression is evaluated at most once.
Note that $e_0 op_1 e_1 op_2 e_2$ does not imply any kind of comparison
between $e_0$ and $e_2$, e.g. $x < y > z$ is perfectly legal.

The forms \verb\<>\ and \verb\!=\ are equivalent; for consistency with
C, \verb\!=\ is preferred; where \verb\!=\ is mentioned below
