+        # first), according to boolean algebra, these two are equivalent:
+        # (~[~eq0, ~eq1, ~eq2].bool()) is the same as (eq0 AND eq1 AND eq2)
+        # where bool() is the *OR* of all bits in the list.
+        #
+        # given that ~eqN is neN (not equal), we first create a series
+        # of != comparisons on the partitions, then chain the relevant
+        # ones together depending on partition points, BOOL those together
+        # and invert the result.
+        #
+        # the outer loop is on the partition value.  the preparation phase
+        # (idx array) is to work out how and when the eqs (ne's) are to be
