interface I
{
    int value();
    equals_t opEquals(I other);
    // final opEquals should be allowed too
    // final equals_t opEquals(I other) { return value() == other.value(); }
}

class A : I
{
    override int value() { return 0; }
    override equals_t opEquals(I other) { return value() == other.value(); }
}

class B : I
{
    override int value() { return 0; }
    override equals_t opEquals(I other) { return value() == other.value(); }
}

void main()
{
    I i1 = new A, i2 = new B;
    assert(i1 == i2);
}

I think this was the actual issue that Steven filed under bug 4088.
Using explicit casts solved compiler generated interface comparison,
but doesn't allow a real opEquals for interfaces.

Note that opCmp works as expected.
