Operator_Compare with variant objects?

[Michael Diehr <md03@xochi.com>]

If a variant holds an object, then Variant.StringValue will  
automatically call Operator_Convert for the object (assuming it has  
"Operator_Convert() as string" defined).
However, this does not seem to hold true for Operator_Compare when  
comparing variants.
Am I doing something wrong or is this just how it goes?

Code:

 dim v1 as variant = new cMyClass
 dim v2 as variant = new cMyClass

 // this calls cMyClass.Operator_Convert
 if v1.stringValue = v2.StringValue then ...

 // this does NOT call cMyClass.Operator_Copmare
 if v1 <> v2 then ...

Class cMyClass
 function Operator_Convert() as string
   return "foobar"
 end function

 function Operator_Compare(rhs as cMyClass) as integer
   return -1
 end function
