- BinaryExpression now keeps track of "left" and "right" as passed in,

so that they can be compared in ``__nonzero__`` prior to their
self_group() step.  [ticket:2621]

+
+      Made an adjustment to the "boolean", (i.e. ``__nonzero__``)
+      evaluation of binary expressions, i.e. ``x1 == x2``, such
+      that the "auto-grouping" applied by :class:`.BinaryExpression`
+      in some cases won't get in the way of this comparison.
+      Previously, an expression like::
+
+        expr1 = mycolumn > 2
+        bool(expr1 == expr1)
+
+      Would evaulate as ``False``, even though this is an identity
+      comparison, because ``mycolumn > 2`` would be "grouped" before
+      being placed into the :class:`.BinaryExpression`, thus changing
+      its identity.   :class:`.BinaryExpression` now keeps track
+      of the "original" objects passed in.
+      Additionally the ``__nonzero__`` method now only returns if
+      the operator is ``==`` or ``!=`` - all others raise ``TypeError``.
