#8620: Boost.Variant has no inequality operator

 The Boost.Variant does not support inequality, e.g.

 typedef boost::variant<int> Variant;

 Variant var1;
 Variant var2;

 if (!(var1 == var2))
 {
 }

 It would ofc be nicer if

 if (var1 != var2)
 {
 }

 Boost.operators already solve this problem (by deriving from
 equality_comparable or even better totally_ordered); not sure if this
 would help. The downside is that Boost.Variant is already a compile time
 cpu hog; with Boost.Operators it may be even worse.
