Yes, that's my plan.

That depends on how we want this to work.

Ahh, good catch.

Eventhough compiler rewrites

     X != Y

into

     !(X == Y)

and we cannot explicit overload opBinary!"!=" there is nothing 
stopping us allowing

     onBinaryAssert!"!="

in the rewriter.

I'll update

http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP83

with a proposed solution for `!=`-lowering.
