PartialEq claims that it corresponds to a PER, but that is only a well-defined statement when Rhs == Self. There is no standard notion of PER on a relation between two different sets/types. So move this out of the first paragraph and clarify this.

Hey! It looks like you've submitted a new PR for the library teams!

If this PR contains changes to any rust-lang/rust public library APIs then please comment with @rustbot label +T-libs-api -T-libs to tag it appropriately. If this PR contains changes to any unstable APIs please edit the PR description to add a link to the relevant API Change Proposal or create one if you haven't already. If you're unsure where your change falls no worries, just leave it as is and the reviewer will take a look and make a decision to forward on if necessary.

Examples of T-libs-api changes:

  • Stabilizing library features
  • Introducing insta-stable changes such as new implementations of existing stable traits on existing stable types
  • Introducing new or changing existing unstable library APIs (excluding permanently unstable features / features without a tracking issue)
  • Changing public documentation in ways that create new stability guarantees
  • Changing observable runtime behavior of library APIs

I would like to note that an "equality comparison" (in the mathematical sense) viewed as a relation is always an equivalence relation and thus also a partial equality comparison (PER). In terms of computer science, however, equality comparisons aren't necessarily the same as equality comparisons in mathematics. Nonetheless, this can be a bit confusing and this PR still describes PartialEq as "equality comparison".

I also think the term "partial equality" is misleading (which was also already used prior to this PR).

See PR #103046 for an attempt to fix these issues.
