Eric pointed out it's actually incorrect for NaNs.

If you want to touch inequalities, separate patch(es) please, because
they need more thorough review, both for correctness and for style.

Re "not a good idea": I think rewriting "NULL == value" to "value ==
NULL" *is* a good idea, but rewriting it to "!value" where that blends
in with surrounding code is a *better* idea.

Gonglei's patches do that, Michael's don't, but are more complete.
Therefore:

Easy: apply Gonglei's patches before you run the script.

You may have to split patches along subsystem boundaries to get them in.
Bothersome, as it involves guessing boundaries.  Not a request from me,
just a warning of possible misfortune :)
