Just FYI: at the moment, yes, the default implementation of opCmp 
does just that: comparing the address, however sensible or 
nonsensical that may be. Only if you want something different, 
you need to implement opCmp yourself.

But ok, maybe you convinced me that not every class needs an 
opCmp.
Maybe the whole concept of classes is not so very useful anymore 
if you have structs, alias this and 
UFCS-(pseudo-)member-functions.
