There are no assumptions about anything. You can do whatever you want
when you implement the functions yourself. For the numeric types, they
follow the intuitive meanings but that's not necessary for user
defined types. Of course, your users will get very confused if a == b
but b != a. Or if a == b and a != b at the same time.
