Looks good to me.

For example, since
[comparison between `i32` and `u32` is defined](/proposals/p0702.md#built-in-comparisons-and-implicit-conversions),
equality comparison between values of types `{.x: i32, .y: i32}` and
`{.y: u32, .x: u32}` is as well.

I think we should say what order the fields are compared in. IIRC we said we'd use the order of the left-hand operand so that the order of operations in == matches =. Eg, "Equality and inequality comparisons compare fields using the field order of the left-hand operand and stop once the outcome of the comparison is determined. However, the comparison order and short-circuiting are generally expected to affect only the performance characteristics of the comparison and not its meaning."

Rather than picking the left-hand argument's field order when the orders were
different, we considered requiring the field order to match when performing
comparisons. An explicit conversion to a common type would be required to
