https://dlang.org/spec/operatoroverloading.html#eqcmp

opCmp is only used for the inequality operators <, <=, >=, and >.

  1. The spec should use RelExpression instead of 'inequality operators', as inequality means !=.
  2. The compiler only generates opEquals for structs, not classes.

PR incoming.
