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... > On a completely different note I seem to remember you saying that you > had some tools to check distributions and random numbers.

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... -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41061
