We would like to get clarification on what "opposite operators" means.
The referenced JSF guideline says (such as == and !=) which implies there are others, but there are no examples present other than "!= and ==".
Presumably this includes relational operators, but it doesn't discuss how. This rule would seemingly imply that <= should be implemented using >=. But would this mean that it is considered non-compliant to implement it with operator >?
Are relational operators allowed to call any other relational operators? Are there any other pairings that are considered opposites for this rule?

Code:
inline bool operator<=(const X& lhs, const X& rhs) { return !(lhs > rhs); }Are relational operators allowed to call any other relational operators? Are there any other pairings that are considered opposites for this rule?
