For Euphoria's current comparison behavior, I would use builtins.
I have no clear idea what you really mean by that.
I'm guessing he means to make e.g. sq_div() et al builtin functions for those rare applications that truly depend on sequence-op methods. (The only example I can think of offhand is older applications that inlined RDS's lower() and upper() methods.)
If you are thinking of some mythical performance-related issue,
But you seem to be arguing that we might as well just implement it in a std/sequenceop.e library somewhere, as you can't seem to think of a real advantage to keeping this stuff built into the interpreter. (The same is true for me - I think sequence ops like that are rare enough that even if there was a performance issue, it'd still be a non-issue.)
