Subject: use not equal(!=) operator as a Symbol.

Hi, all

I try to use comparision operator as a symbol type.

but, I met the following problems.

Here is my example.

irb(main):001:0> a = 1
=> 1
irb(main):002:0> a.send(:==, 1)
=> true
irb(main):003:0> a.send(:==, 2)
=> false
irb(main):004:0> a.send(:>, 0)
=> true
irb(main):005:0> a.send(:>, 2)
=> false
irb(main):006:0> a.send(:!=, 2)
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):6: syntax error, unexpected tNEQ, expecting tSTRING_CONTENT or  
tSTRING_DBEG or tSTRING_DVAR or tSTRING_END
a.send(:!=, 2)
           ^
	from (irb):6
	from :0
irb(main):007:0> a.send('==', 2)
=> false
irb(main):008:0> a.send('!=', 2)
NoMethodError: undefined method `!=' for 1:Fixnum
	from (irb):8:in `send'
	from (irb):8
	from :0
irb(main):009:0>

Is any idea?
