   Use rename instead.
   Like this:

           function "/="(A,B:Foo) return boolean renames field_def."/=";

Actually, use a rename like this:

           function "="(A,B:Foo) return boolean renames field_def."=";

One of those interesting little language lawyer level "features"  You
can't define not equal -- when you define equal you get not equal as
part of the deal...

I guess, there was concern that:

 'A /= B' might be different from 'not( A = B)'
