 Python manuals says:

     There are no implied relationships among the comparison operators. The
 truth of x==y does not imply that x!=y is false. Accordingly, when
 defining __eq__(), one should also define __ne__() so that the operators
 will behave as expected.

 !UniqueRepresentation fails to comply with this. As a consequence:
 {{{
 sage: G6 = GL(6, QQ)
 sage: G6 == G6
 True
 sage: G6 != G6
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NotImplementedError                       Traceback (most recent call
 last)
 ...
 NotImplementedError: Matrix group over Rational Field not implemented.
