Here's a patch. I'm still not 100% convinced this is a good idea. Part of my objection is that it seems likely that these comparisons are fairly useless, in that a mixed-type comparison is probably going to be followed by a mixed-type arithmetic operation at some point (unless people are misspelling "x < 0" as "x < 0.0"). So all that's really gained is a noisy failure instead of a silent one. Still, I suppose that's something.
