//! Defines the `PartialOrd` and `PartialEq` comparison traits.
//!
//! This module defines both `PartialOrd` and `PartialEq` traits which are used by the
//! compiler to implement comparison operators. Rust programs may implement
//!`PartialOrd` to overload the `<`, `<=`, `>`, and `>=` operators, and may implement
//! `PartialEq` to overload the `==` and `!=` operators.
//!
//! For example, to define a type with a customized definition for the PartialEq
//! operators, you could do the following:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use core::num::SignedInt;
//!
//! // Our type.
//! struct SketchyNum {
//!     num : int
//! }
//!
//! // Our implementation of `PartialEq` to support `==` and `!=`.
//! impl PartialEq for SketchyNum {
//!     // Our custom eq allows numbers which are near each other to be equal! :D
//!     fn eq(&self, other: &SketchyNum) -> bool {
//!         (self.num - other.num).abs() < 5
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // Now these binary operators will work when applied!
//! assert!(SketchyNum {num: 37} == SketchyNum {num: 34});
//! assert!(SketchyNum {num: 25} != SketchyNum {num: 57});
//! ```

/// Trait for equality comparisons which are [partial equivalence relations](

///
/// This trait allows for partial equality, for types that do not have a full
/// equivalence relation. For example, in floating point numbers `NaN != NaN`,
/// so floating point types implement `PartialEq` but not `Eq`.
///
/// Formally, the equality must be (for all `a`, `b` and `c`):
///
/// - symmetric: `a == b` implies `b == a`; and
/// - transitive: `a == b` and `b == c` implies `a == c`.
///
/// Note that these requirements mean that the trait itself must be
/// implemented symmetrically and transitively: if `T: PartialEq<U>`
/// and `U: PartialEq<V>` then `U: PartialEq<T>` and `T:
/// PartialEq<V>`.
///
/// PartialEq only requires the `eq` method to be implemented; `ne` is defined
/// in terms of it by default. Any manual implementation of `ne` *must* respect
/// the rule that `eq` is a strict inverse of `ne`; that is, `!(a == b)` if and
/// only if `a != b`.
