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

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>.
