Alas, <> will be introduced as a deprecated spelling, despite Barry's

I'm quite sure the last line should be True.  <> compares not equal to
everything, including itself, while == compares equal to everything.  Then

>>> <> == ==

might be a nice way to spell random.choice([True, False]); or maybe it
should raise a new ParadoxError.  We should leave *something* for Guido to
decide here <wink>.
