A humble suggestion, if I may.  If we do this, why not write something
like "accepting nonstandard =3D=3D operator" to stderr?  A warning promotes
the standard without breaking.=20

If anyone complains about the warning, the remedy is obvious: fix the
script.  I don't see a need for anything more sophisticated. =20

Just my 2=A2, of course. =20
