It's a bug in that every other language that I am aware of correctly handles multicharacter comparisons (like C, Perl, Basic, etc), so if the WebDNA parser doesn't: a) support it or b) complain that is isn't a supported operator when someone tries to use it I consider that a bug. Silently doing the wrong thing is never correct, even if the code contains a syntax error.
