Does not simplify, but is used as the simplification value for
`Ash.Query.Operator.LessThanOrEqual`, `Ash.Query.Operator.GreaterThan` and
`Ash.Query.Operator.GreaterThanOrEqual`.

When comparing predicates, it is mutually exclusive with `Ash.Query.Operator.IsNil`.
Additionally, it compares as mutually inclusive with any `Ash.Query.Operator.Eq` and
any `Ash.Query.Operator.LessThan` who's right sides are less than it, and mutually
exclusive with any `Ash.Query.Operator.Eq` or `Ash.Query.Operator.GreaterThan` who's
