For more information on being a predicate, see Ash.Filter.Predicate. Most of the complexities are there. An operator must meet both behaviours.

Create a new operator. Pass the module and the left and right values

new(term(), term()) ::
  {:ok, term(), term()} | {:ok, term()} | {:known, boolean()} | {:error, term()}

Create a new predicate. There are various return types possible:

{:ok, left, right} - Return the left/right values of the operator
{:ok, operator} - Return the operator itself, this or the one above are acceptable
{:known, boolean} - If the value is already known, e.g 1 == 1
{:error, error} - If there was an error creating the operator

to_string(struct(), Inspect.Opts.t()) :: term()
