I see, I guess that reads a little more like a suggestion/hint (which
it is) than a direct order, a distinction we don't exactly have in
English. (There seem to be other examples of imperatives, which is
probably why I suggested that, but also some infinitives. *Shrug*)

Aha, another spelling that changed. (I will refrain from complaining
about inconsistency in adoption of French:1990!)

Oh, wait a minute, besides the typo, isn't it really something like
"... requiert que l'opérateur = retourne une valeur de type booléen"?

I think this other similar makes the same mistake:

msgid "IS DISTINCT FROM requires = operator to yield boolean"
msgstr "IS DISTINCT FROM requiert l'opérateur = pour comparer des booléens"

Thanks Vik.
