> In Groovy if you see x==\~y and x == \~y you can can get a problem, because it is easy to oversee the space in between, changing the meaning of the compare. The problem is toped by x != \~y being the negation of x == \~y, but there is no negation for ==\~. This issue is therefore asking for a replacement of the operators ==\~ and =\~ in a way that allows the negation too and is still readable. For this no unary operator symbol should follow the equals if equals is kept.
