Description

Currently, the C++ generator automatically writes out the operators ==, != and <. It would good to have an option to disable this generation if a user wants to write their own specialised operators for these types in a source file that sits by the side of the generated source, so that they do not get overwritten when a thrift file needs to be altered and then regenerated.
