That reminds me on a feature that has been discussed and added before:
Making tuples conform to Comparable 
(https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0015-tuple-comparison-operators.md
 
<https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0015-tuple-comparison-operators.md>)
The implementation doesn't hurt me, but imho it's use is very limited as well.

As for comparing optionals, my preferred result would be an Optional<Bool>:
if (value < 5) ?? true {…
It makes no assumptions on the order, is clear and also concise.

That, on the other hand, reminds me on the discussion about switching to 
another platform, because the mailing list sucks. I couldn't find a link to 
that one either (guess why ;-)
