'#' is Fox-specific; I don't know many other languages that support
that.
'<>' literally means "less than or greater than". While that may be
correct when comparing numbers, it seems silly when comparing things that do
not have ordinality.
'!=' is unambiguous, and works in most languages. There really is no
downside to this choice.
