Uh, why do we need this at all? "NOT (tid = tid)" covers the
functionality already.

tid should be a fully functional type, at least for = and !=.

I disagree strongly with renumbering existing hand-assigned OIDs for
this. There's too much risk of breakage and no benefit.

Agreed.

Also, you forgot to add the negator cross-links between the operators.

OK.

New patch, with no OID renumbering, plus the negators are there now :-)
Thanks for the critique guys!

Mark
