Could it be applyable to other operations as well? So, if I wrote: c = not(a < b) the compiler and/or peephole optimizer can generate bytecodes instructions which, instead, execute the following operation: c = a >= b
Those two expressions are equivalent for integers, but not necessarily equivalent for objects that define their own comparison operator.
OK, so I can make assumptions only for built-in types. Thank you Cesare
