Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:62 vdelecroix]:
 > that would allow element implementing `__eq__` to benefit of `__ne__`
 for free. What do you think? Perhaps not for this ticket though (thinking
 about #18305). It is a bit dangerous since `__eq__` would not go through
 coercions but `__ne__` would.

 I don't like it so much. I think a Python class can easily do
 {{{
 def __ne__(self, other):
     return not (self == other)
 }}}

 And then you're indeed bringing coercion in the story and you're assuming
 that rich comparisons return `True` or `False` and not something symbolic.
