+- Issue #12067: Rewrite Comparisons section in the Expressions chapter of the
+  language reference. Some of the details of comparing mixed types were
+  incorrect or ambiguous. NotImplemented is only relevant at a lower level
+  than the Expressions chapter. Added details of comparing range() objects,
+  and default behaviour and consistency suggestions for user-defined classes.
+  Patch from Andy Maier.

 - Issue #24952: Clarify the default size argument of stack_size() in
