Inequality operators

Declared in `<balm_integermetric.h>`

Return `true` if the specified `lhs` and `rhs` metric ids do not have the same value and `false` otherwise. Two metric ids do not have same value if they refer to different `MetricDescription` object _addresses_, or exactly one address is 0.

Return `true` if the specified `lhs` and `rhs` metric records do not have the same value and `false` otherwise. Two records do not have same value if they differ in their respective values for `metricId`, `count`, `total`, `min`, or `max` attributes.

Return `true` if the specified `lhs` and `rhs` metrics do not have the same value and `false` otherwise. Two metrics do not have the same value if they record measurements using different collector objects or if one, but not both, have a null collector (i.e., `collector()` is 0).

Return `true` if the specified `lhs` and `rhs` metric format specs do not have the same value, and `false` otherwise. Two format specs do not have same value if they differ in their respective values for `scale` or `format` attributes.
