If we were talking about C/C++/Java then it makes more sense : '!' is
the logical not operator so  !=  means  "not ,erm, assignment".  Ok,
how about  !==  for "not equals" <wink>?  You wouldn't prefer to use
'/='  as Eiffel did, now would you?

I think we should use the mathematical symbol of an equality sign with
a slash through it.  Is that glyph in Unicode?
