Overloading the comparison operator

According to the documentationI have, one overloads == and != by
defining __cmp__ in a class definition. Unfortunately, the is the (to
me) undesirable side effect of also overloading <, <=, >, and >=.
There are (non-magnitude) classes for which one would like to override
==, and !=, but not <, <=, >, and >=. Is there a way to do this? Is
something planned?
