Actually there is: the interpreter can easily determine when it needs
a boolean result, eg in an if statement, so it simply maps relational
operators to equal()/compare().

Trust me, this can be done for any reasonable expression, eg

	if name="pete" then

or

	if forename="pete" and surname="lomax" then

but not

	if {1,2,3}+{4,5,6} then

I'll give it a go if/when I get 2.5
