Description:
------------
To prevent "if ( $a = 2 )"-type errors, an EQ comparison operator would be very helpful.  (If I had the cost of all the time lost, worldwide, on that class of error, I'd be living in a villa on the Riviera.)

Although the EQ op is the only one actually needed, for symmetry's sake it would be pleasant to have the rest, too: NE,LT,LE,GE,GT).

Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a

Expected result:
----------------
n/a

Actual result:
--------------
n/a

I can recall Maurice Wilkes sending an auditorium filled with engineers into gales of laughter by pointing out that "The really nice thing about standards is that they ensure that everyone who comes after us makes the same mistakes we did".
