What does the <> operator do in Slick?
<p>I was walking through the <a href="http://slick.typesafe.com/doc/3.0.0/schemas.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation of Slick</a> to setup a quick working prototype.</p>

<p>In the Mapped Tables section I see a <code>&lt;&gt;</code> operator in the example mentioned but can't find any documentation for that anywhere. Need help in understanding this.</p>
