                 PrimOps for comparing unboxed values now return
                 <literal>Int#</literal> instead of <literal>Bool</literal>.
-                New PrimOps' names end with <literal>$#</literal> for operators and
-                <literal>I#</literal> for ordinary names, e.g. <literal>==$#</literal>
-                compares <literal>Int#</literal>s for equality and
-                <literal>eqCharI#</literal> does the same for <literal>Char#</literal>s.
-                Old PrimOps have been removed and turned into wrappers. See
