I would enhance the code to clearly see which operators (single or 
double-char) are allowed and how they are treated. And then clearly 
fallback for all others to == as it is now.

The problem with current code is that double-character operators are 
handled in the one-character operator parser. This works but is not very 
clear. Better would be to actually parse the single/double-character 
operator and *then* handle it.
