/**
 * Only the values of like types are permitted to be compared. A type is like another type if they
 * correspond to the same Java language type, or if one is a primitive Java language type and the
 * other is the wrapped Java class type equivalent (e.g., int and Integer are like types in this
 * sense).
 * <p>
 * There is one exception to this rule: it is valid to compare numeric values for which the rules of
 * numeric promotion apply. Conditional expressions attempting to compare non-like type values are
 * disallowed except for this numeric case.
 * <p>
 * Note that the arithmetic operators and comparison operators are permitted to be applied to
 * state-fields and input parameters of the wrapped Java class equivalents to the primitive numeric
 * Java types. Two entities of the same abstract schema type are equal if and only if they have the
 * same primary key value. Only equality/inequality comparisons over enumeration constants are
 * required to be supported.
