Will do but that will most likely be on the weekend as my vacation is over. :-(

What else do you want documented there? It seems to be explained
"""Helper to make > match >> and < match <<"""

A lot comes to mind... It doesn't explain the "=" matches "==" case. It also doesn't explain that this is for compatibility with older third-party code that still checks relations against ">>" or "<<". I would also comment/document when this compatibility code should be deprecated and when it should be removed. This code is nearly 4 years in place by now and so I think there should be a deprecation notice for this compatibility code by now...

Do you think that this all is not document-worthy? ;-)
