->Neither one, although the first one is close.  The numerical values

-Huh?  When they have the same numerical value and both are integer types,
-how is it possible for them to not compare equal?

My point was that the correct interpretation of the standard encompasses
more than the specific example.  The example is implied by the standard's
specification, but not vice-versa.  Thus they are not equivalent.
