For the record, the gory details as to why RichCompareBool makes more assumptions as to the meaning of equality than the basic RichCompare function can be found in issue 4296 (I just found that issue myself by looking at Mark's response to the python-list thread). It may be worth explicitly pointing out that use cases where this assumption is unacceptable would be better served by direct invocation RichCompare function.
