It isn't possible to compare primitives with references of the same type

[c410-f3r]

There are implementations of arithmetic operators like Add, Sub or Div for owned primitives mixed with references, however, comparison operators are only available for a single T.

Is there a technical decision preventing, e.g., impl PartialEq<&usize> for usize? It would be nice to be able to write 10i32 > some_i32_ref_var instead of 10i32 > *some_i32_ref_var.

I believe this is a duplicate of #44619.

Beware that more impls often causes type inference problems -- the most recent example I remember is #76189 -- though it's possible that the distinction between primitives and references might be enough to avoid that in these cases.

The question about whether these are desirable, or if so whether they should be more impls or making sides of operators deref sites or ________ is a harder question.
