Type constraint for type inequality in scala [duplicate]

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Enforce type difference

Since there is a generalized type constraint enforcing equality in scala =:=, is there one that enforces "not equals" for types? Basically != but for types?

Edit

Comment below points to an existing Q&A and the answer seems to be that (1) no, it's not in the standard library (2) yes, it's possible to define one.

So I'll modify my question because of a thought that occurred to me after I saw the answer.

Given the existing solution:

sealed class =!=[A,B]

trait LowerPriorityImplicits {
  implicit def equal[A]: =!=[A, A] = sys.error("should not be called")
}
object =!= extends LowerPriorityImplicits {
  implicit def nequal[A,B](implicit same: A =:= B = null): =!=[A,B] = 
    if (same != null) sys.error("should not be called explicitly with same type")
    else new =!=[A,B]
}     

case class Foo[A,B](a: A, b: B)(implicit e: A =!= B)

If A <: B or A >: B, will it still be the case that A =!= B? If not, is it possible to modify the solution such that if A =!= B then it is not the case that A <: B or A >: B?

Answer 1

shapeless defines the type operator A <:!< B (meaning A is not a subtype of B) using the same implicit ambiguity trick that's used for strict type inequality,

trait <:!<[A, B]

implicit def nsub[A, B] : A <:!< B = new <:!<[A, B] {}
implicit def nsubAmbig1[A, B >: A] : A <:!< B = sys.error("Unexpected call")
implicit def nsubAmbig2[A, B >: A] : A <:!< B = sys.error("Unexpected call")
