Maybe stick a test in the compiler to see if < > <= >= are ever used on 
small sets anywhere in the m3 system?  You might want to do this anyway 
in case anyone is relying on them doing integer comparisons.

I seem to remember using them for subset comparisons in a Pascal program 
I converted to modula 3 many years ago.  I was using the PM3 compiler 
then, and I haven't tried it on cm3 yet.  I'd have to check the code to 
see what I was really doing, though.
