Ooh! That codes sounds familiar. What I was trying for was to cover
the case that, for example, (int4 < float4) was not implemented, but
that (float4 >= int4) was. If this is already handled elsewhere, or if
this goal is nonsensical, then cutting the defective code is the right
thing. But if the code just needed repairing, we should put it back in
and get it right next time...
