Subject: 1.8.0 changes behavior of == in Comparable

Running my unit tests with 1.8.0, I noticed that the behavior of == in
Comparable has changed from 1.6.8 to 1.8.0. In 1.6.8, if <=> raises an
exception, == catches it and returns false. In 1.8.0, == doesn't catch the
exception.

This change seems reasonable, but I'd be interested in learning more about
the reasoning behind it. Anybody care to comment?

Thanks!
