By two sets, do you mean "eq" and "==", "gt" and ">", etc.?
A string comparison is much different than a numeric
comparison. Look:
$string = "556foo";
$num = 556;
print "string comparison equal" if $string eq $num;
print "num comparison equal" if $string == $num;
The result?
num comparison equal
So if these are the sets of operators that you're referring
to, they're definitely not redundant; you couldn't simply
drop one set and have the same functionality as you do
now.
Are you proposing that we differentiate between string
and numeric comparisons in some other way than the
operators?
