And remember that, as Kerin pointed out at the beginning of this
thread, [[ ! x > y ]] and [[ ! x < y ]] are already available.
(They're decently portable, too.  The > and < operators are supported
by many test(1) implementations and will even be in the next version
of POSIX.)  So the threshold for introducing backward-incompatible
equivalents ought to be high.
